Leonard appears to have come alive after his “load management” saga that unfurled over the course of the regular season.
Leonard’s playoff mode has been activated, and if Toronto wins out we could be in store for incredible Eastern Conference matchup between him and Giannis Antetokounmpo should the Milwaukee Bucks advance.
Toronto now leads, 3-2.
