Kawhi Leonard continued staking his claim as the postseason's best player in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals. Unfortunately for the Toronto Raptors, though, his teammates didn't give Leonard nearly enough support. The good news? They're perfectly willing to admit it.

After the Philadelphia 76ers' blowout victory over the Raptors on Thursday, Kyle Lowry shouldered most of the blame for a team-wide failure to provide Leonard with much help offensively.

“We've gotta help him, myself especially,” he said, per Josh Lewenberg of TSN. “I've gotta help him, score more, gotta help him on the floor. We've all gotta help him. He's playing unbelievable right now, but we're not giving him any help. Me, I'm not giving him any help. Gotta help him.”

Lowry had seven points on 10 field goal attempts in Game 3, deferring to Leonard time and time again despite ample room to shoot or attack space. The Raptors as a whole shot 42.2 percent overall and 25.9 percent from three, while Pascal Siakam, who had 20 points, and Danny Green were the only ones to join their team's best player in double-figures.

But Toronto's biggest problem might have come on defense, another area where Green insists he and his teammates must help Leonard going forward.

“This is what he does, it's what he's used to doing, it's what he came he for, it's what they brought him here for, to carry that load on both ends,” Green said. “But we've gotta do a better job of helping him, myself included.”

We'll find out if Lowry, Green, and the rest of the Raptors' supporting cast does it come Sunday's Game 4.
