The San Antonio Spurs are back, and Kawhi Leonard’s re-emergence as his team’s most important two-way force is the biggest reason why. This is the remarkably fluid athlete with limbs for days that won Finals MVP last June.
Leonard continued his stellar recent play during his team’s 117-107 win over the Toronto Raptors on Tuesday night, notching 24 points, 11 rebounds, and five steals. He’s averaging 22 points and eight rebounds during the Spurs’ six-game winning streak.
