Kawhi Leonard is back with the Raptors and it picked up right where it left off with him on the floor.
The Raptors took down the Kings 114-105 Wednesday as Leonard scored 25 points on 7-of-17 shooting. He added 11 rebounds and two assists, as well.
Leonard had missed the last two games with an ankle injury, but he and coach Nick Nurse insisted it wasn't a serious setback. Wednesday's performance proved that to be right.
Raptors is now 11-1 on the season, tied with the Warriors for the best record in the NBA.
Kings is surprisingly good at 6-5. Willie Cauley-Stein (24 points), Buddy Hield (24) and De'Aaron Fox (20) all scored at least 20 points in the game.
