In case you wondered what a few days off means to Kawhi Leonard – pull up the game versus the Warriors from week 12. The Klaw was on full display while his teammates were struggling to find a rhythm feeling the rust from potentially too many games off.
Without Paul George in the lineup, Leonard exploded for 36 points on 14 of 25 from the field notably with a few jaw-dropping, in traffic, dunks that have to be viewed to recognize just how powerful he is when surrounded by defenders and feeling at his best.
That the Clippers scored 109 points with Lou Williams chipping in 21 speaks to Leonard’s ability to take over a game with or without Paul George in the mix.
