Such an emotional night that held so much promise.
An amped up crowd reliving the greatest year in franchise history and most meteorically great player that may ever play in Toronto.
A high-quality opponent that should have forced the Raptors to be at their best.
An energetic start.
And then, pfft.
Flat as a pancake, the Raptors were, except for a few moments here and there of inspired play and Kawhi Leonard prepares to leave Toronto as a winner once again.
A night that began with a raucous celebration of Leonard’s one-year star turn with the Raptors ended with much of the crowd of more than 20,000 having fled the Scotiabank Arena following a 112-92 Clippers victory.
