SAN ANTONIO — Kawhi Leonard stood in his usual spot during starting lineup introductions with the LA Clippers on the road. The San Antonio Spurs’ public address announcer rattled off the names of the Clippers’ starters and got to Leonard last:
Kawhi Leonard: 27 pts, 6 rebs, 7 asts Norman Powell: 27 pts, 8 rebs Ivica Zubac: 21 pts, 22 rebs James Harden: 21 pts, 3 rebs, 12 asts, 3 stls
James Harden scored 40 points, Norman Powell added 33 and Kawhi Leonard had 18 in three quarters in their 127-117 victory over Milwaukee.
Wednesday’s game between the Celtics and Clippers was highly entertaining. Boston required overtime to win despite having Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, and Derrick White in the lineup. The Clippers were down four starters (James Harden, Norman Powell, Kawhi Leonard, and Ivica Zubac), but the available players didn’t use that as an excuse.
There was once a moment in time when it seemed like Kawhi Leonard and Kevin Durant could have become teammates in the summer of 2019. While that never ended up
The hero in the Celtics' OT win over the Clippers wasn't Jayson Tatum or Jaylen Brown, but an unheralded star off the bench.
Wake Forest coach Steve Forbes compared Duke freshman Cooper Flagg to NBA superstars Kevin Durant, Kawhi Leonard and Derrick Rose and predicted that he'll have a long career in the pro ranks.
