Kawhi Leonard was named Finals MVP after leading the Toronto Raptors to the franchise’s first-ever championship Thursday night.
Leonard’s 22 points Thursday helped propel the Raptors to a 114-110 win over Golden State, closing out the series in six games and ending the Warriors’ championship run.
Leonard has been dominant all post-season, averaging just shy of 31 points per game heading into Thursday’s matchup and approaching some pretty remarkable history with his post-season point totals. He finishes the playoffs with a total of 732 points, which ranks him third on the all-time list for most points in a single post-season behind just LeBron James (748 in 2018) and Michael Jordan (759 in 1992).
