NBA
Leonard from the old days and George dissolved the Celtics
With Kawhi Leonard reminiscing for the first time this year… Kawhi Leonard and Paul George followed him, the Clippers swept the NBA-leading Celtics 113-93 and showed their teeth.
Kawhi Leonard still has a long way to go before he feels like he did before his injury. The Clippers still have a long way to go before they get where they want to be. Against the Celtics, however, Leonard reminded… Leonard and the Clippers looked like title contenders, dismantling the NBA’s best-record team 113-93.
Leonard showed his footwork and finished the race with 25 points on 10/12 shooting (2/3 3 points), 9 rebounds and 6 assists and spreading smiles around Los Angeles. Very close and Paul George at 26 points (with 8/22 shooting), with Marcus Morris adding 13 points, on a nice day for the Clippers who even hit +24.
With the Celtics going for the first time this year with two straight losses, Jaylen Brown had 21 points and Jayson Tatum had 20 points (but 7/20 shooting).
