Kawhi Leonard may have drawn first blood, but his former Raptors teammates – to a man – proved that they have plenty of heart. Championship heart. But then again, Leonard knew that, writes michaelgrange.

“He danced in the locker room. That’s a rarity, that you have an opportunity to do that with guys. That group, whoever was on that team, it’s like a blood transfusion.

The game wasn’t two minutes old when Pascal Siakam found OG Anunoby deep in the paint on a cut to the basket. Also, there was Leonard and he did what Raptors fans have seen him do countless times: see ball, take ball. The only problem was that in the process Leonard had raked Anunoby across the face, poking him in the eye, drawing some blood and leaving him dazed in the paint. The third-year forward, who is enjoying a breakout season, had to leave the game and was unable to return with his eye swollen shut.“He just cut down the lane, I went for the steal and ended up hitting him in the face,” said Leonard afterward. “I ended up getting the ball and going down .

Certainly, Raptors head coach Nick Nurse wasn’t happy about losing his best defensive player so soon – and with no foul being called on the play to boot.Hey, no one said playing against Leonard would be easy.
