Toronto Raptors: 3 takeaways from early clash with Celtics

1. KL and KL

Kyle Lowry and Kawhi Leonard, with dash of Danny Green, is an absolute beast of a recipe to any lineup combinations the Raptors have at their disposal.

If last night is any indication, the closing unit of Lowry-FVV-Green-Leonard-Ibaka will be deadly. The opposition must respect each of them as shooters, all are either great or elite defenders and have that special clutch gene to get buckets to win games.

Lowry and Leonard in the first game combined for 51-points, this game they combined for 46-points, showing no signs of slowing down either.

Both playing really well together, both are elite shooters, playmakers and at-the-rim finishers in this league and when they connect, it makes it almost impossible to guard against.

This game against the Celtics have Raptor fans roaring the arena with “MVP” chants for their superstar, Leonard. Even though it is early in the season and he still has some rust to shake off, this season could play out where those chants become reality.
