Kawhi Leonard · Having lost eight of nine, the LA Clippers did the sensible thing to get back on track — they turned Kawhi Leonard loose. The two-time NBA Defensive Player of the Year showed the Houston Rockets he meant business when he picked Josh Christopher’s pocket on defense and motored the other way all by himself, finishing the sequence with an authoritative throwdown. Leonard tallied 30 points, six rebounds, four assists and two steals as the Clippers got back in the win column with a convincing 121-100 triumph on January 15, 2023. · State of Mint · State of Mint
