Johnson played stellar defense on Kawhi Leonard and hit a couple of 3-pointers to help whittle the lead Rod Beard, The Detroit News
Toronto — Raptors forward Kawhi Leonard dribbled toward the basket, with the gleam in his eyes of a predator stalking his prey, sizing up Stanley Johnson for a mortal blow to end the game Wednesday night.
In a tie game, the seconds ticked down and before Leonard could strike, the ball caromed off his foot and out of bounds. The juxtaposition of Leonard’s disappointed sigh and Johnson’s simultaneous Cheshire smile and hand clap told the story of the game.
