In return, Kyle Lowry was tasked with guarding Khris Middleton and defensive stud Kawhi Leonard was matched up on Antetokounmpo. Leonard saw Antetokounmpo sporadically throughout the season mostly as the result of Toronto's switching defense instead of Nick Nurse scheming the matchup. According to NBA.com's matchup data, Leonard defended Antetokounmpo for 31 possessions in the regular season and held him to 0nly three field goal attempts. In a close game in the fourth quarter, the Bucks tried isolating Antetokounmpo on Leonard in the corner. As Antetokounmpo gathers the miss and tries to go up again, Gasol once again gets physical with him and deters another shot attempt.
