Toronto Raptors triumph over the Orlando Magic

Kawhi Leonard is back and boy has he been missed. Winning in the playoffs is somewhat of a new experience for Raptors fans and right now Toronto is feeling very good about the trade they made before the season started to acquire the Klaw.

Kyle Lowry‘s also improved his game compared to his traditional playoff performances. As for the Magic, Nikola Vucevic played well but he alone isn’t enough to take down a full squad of talent-packed Raptors’ players.

Surely the Raptors won’t have such an easy road moving forward when they face off against the Philadelphia 76ers. It’ll be interesting to see how Toronto is going to deal with Joel Embiid and on the contrary how the Sixers will deal with Kawhi Leonard. One thing is for sure and it’s that we have a great series to look forward to.
