Kawhi Leonard gave referee Tony Brothers a lesson in forcing whistles in the Toronto Raptors’ 122-116 victory over the Utah Jazz to start 2019.

Toronto forward Kawhi Leonard, fouled by Utahu2019s Jae Crowder, scored 45 points, the eight-highest total by a Raptor in a regular-season game.

Leonard was frustrated with the non-calls in that game, a night that eventually led to a fine for Raptors coach Nick Nurse for publicly defending his best player.
