Kawhi Leonard · Kawhi Leonard scored most of his points in the first half, but he saved the loudest thunder for the fourth quarter. Playing against the team he led to an NBA championship in 2019, the five-time All-Star did not take it easy on the Toronto Raptors as he skied high and landed a monster throwdown on Jakob Poeltl that gave the LA Clippers a 15-point fourth quarter lead. It was smooth sailing from there as Leonard led the way with game-highs of 24 points and 12 rebounds while also chipping in four assists and three steals in his squad’s 108-100 victory on March 8, 2023. The Clippers went 33-19 in games Leonard was in the lineup in 2023 while posting a 11-19 mark without him, underscoring the importance of his presence on the court. · State of Mint
