GAME NIGHT: Are the Toronto Raptors the Most TERRIFYING Defense in the East? | Tyrese Haliburton Back in OKC
Description
Nick Angstadt (@NickVanExit, Locked On Mavs) & John Karalis break down Kawhi Leonard’s first game back in a Toronto Raptors uniform since 2019 and why the Raptors’ long, bruising defense will be a nightmare for the East. The hosts react to Tyrese Haliburton’s 24-point first half in his return to OKC and debate whether his chemistry with Ivica Zubac can make the Indiana Pacers a top-3 seed. The Oklahoma City Thunder snap a 13-game skid, but Cason Wallace’s three-point shooting looms as a real question in place of Luguentz Dort. The conversation shifts to the Orlando Magic’s modernized offense with Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner, and why health may matter more than the scheme. The hosts also examine the Cleveland Cavaliers’ flat preseason finale and Peyton Watson’s fit next to James Harden and Donovan Mitchell. They close with Walker Kessler’s Los Angeles Lakers debut, the Golden State Warriors’ young core, and a spicy Portland Trail Blazers take.
