While the Raptors’ pairing of Scottie Barnes and Pascal Siakam has been having a great night, the All-Star duo of Kawhi Leonard and Paul George have eclipsed everyone’s performance.
While PG13 has recorded 23 points in the 38:41 minutes he has taken on the floor, the Klaw has managed to lodge 22 points & 12 rebounds. Apart from putting up a huge double-double against his former franchise, Leonard even had the play of the night.

Already undefeated against the Raptors since parting ways with the Canadian franchise, the Klaw will most definitely grab a 6th win against Nick Nurse and co.
