Kawhi Leonard is a man on a mission

Kawhi Leonard played just 60 games in the regular season for the Toronto Raptors, with load management and an eye at the playoffs the biggest factor for giving him the rest he wanted. Since the playoffs began, Kawhi has been the best player on the court by far.

He is averaging 31.1 points, 9.1 rebounds and 3.9 assists along with 1.6 steals in each game, shooting 49.8% from the field. He has had 14 games with 30 points or more in the playoffs this season, with only Kobe Bryant, Hakeem Olajuwon and Michael Jordan ahead of him.

Through the first four games of these Finals, Leonard is averaging 30.8 points, 10.3 rebounds, 4.0 assists, and 2.0 steals a game, while shooting 44.7 percent from the field, and 40.3 percent from beyond the arc.

Game 4 was no different for the Klaw, as he scored 36 points and shot 50% from the field, and he even hit 5 out of his 9 3-point attempts. Kawhi was dominant on the glass as well, grabbing himself 12 rebounds, along with 2 assists, 4 steals and 1 block in an amazing all-round performance.
