It was a remarkably complete performance, with 22 points on 64-per-cent shooting, four rebounds, three assists and two steals. Zeller loped back up the court, metaphorically pulling up the shorts that Leonard had just dropped to his ankles. He and Leonard were a combined 54 per cent from three-point range, and when that happens the Raptors will be lethal. Toronto struggled to defend elite offences last season, and they were often torched from the perimeter by those teams. The Cleveland Cavaliers shot 41 per cent from three-point range against the Raptors in the playoffs last year, and 46 per cent from distance in the previous playoffs.
