The Toronto Raptors and Golden State Warriors locked horns (or claws, in the Raptors’ case) for Game 3 of the NBA Finals in Oracle Arena on Wednesday night, with the Warriors tying the series up on the road with a massive Game 2 victory in which Andre Iguodala hit a massive, clinching three-pointer to stave off a non-traditional “box and-one” strategy from the Raps in the fourth quarter.

With Game 3 on the road, Kawhi Leonard of the Raps showcased his laser focus on the game at hand before the game began as he ignored his teammate Norm Powell’s attempts at hyping his teammate up.

On the court, however, Leonard needed so much beseeching, as he delivered an absolutely stunning dunk in the first half all over Jordon Bell of the Warriors – despite having his face whacked in the process:

Leonard has definitely reminded all NBA fans why he is one of the best players in the game throughout the course of these playoffs, as he has delivered a cavalcade of amazing plays, including the miraculous game-winner against the Philadelphia 76ers that rattled around for four bounces before finally dropping in and kicking out the Sixers from the Eastern Conference.

That dunk perhaps set the tone for the game, as the Raptors led for much of Game 3 en route to a hard-fought victory – despite a 47-point night from Stephen Curry on the other side.
