Toronto Raptors forward Kawhi Leonard hit a last-second basket on Friday night to give his team the victory.Kawhi Leonard delivered the winning bucket in the dying seconds as the Toronto Raptors survived a tough test from one of the hottest-rolling teams in the Western Conference Friday night.
The Trail Blazers went into Toronto scorching, riding a five-game win streak that included victories over powers such as Boston, Philadelphia and Golden State. They had also handed Toronto a loss earlier this season – 128-122 in Portland back in December – a game that Lowry did not play because of a thigh contusion.
Nurkic committed two fast fouls in the first four minutes of the game, and without a single field-goal attempt, he headed to the bench for the rest of the half. It created a competitive advantage for Toronto, and Gasol capitalized.
