Goddamn Kawhi is good – 12:58 AM
Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU Only games of Kawhi Leonard postseason career with more made field goals than tonight’s 15 (out of 19 attempts) – 45 point game at Dallas in 2021 (18/25) – 45 point game vs 76ers in 2019 (16 of 23)
– 41 point Game 7 vs 76ers in 2019 (16 of 39) – 12:54 AM
I truly don’t know what you do with Kawhi in all-time rankings. His peak is like “what if Kobe was bigger and made more 3s” but he’s scored fewer NBA points than Antoine Walker. – 12:49 AM
Sam Quinn @SamQuinnCBS I think that was… the third-best Kawhi playoff game?
Below Game 1 vs. Philly and Game 6 vs. Luka, but above any of the Finals games or the Bucks games? That seem fair? I’m not sure what to do with Game 7 vs. Philly. He shot 16-of-39 but by that game’s standards… – 12:43 AM
Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU Game 1: – 20 Clippers turnovers, 11 Nuggets turnovers – Kawhi Leonard: 7 turnovers Game 2 – 11 Clippers turnovers, 20 Nuggets turnovers
– Nikola Jokić: 7 turnovers – 12:43 AM

What a game! Great series so far. Felt like the Clippers let one slip in Game 1, Kawhi Leonard made sure it didn’t happen again. Dude looks unstoppable right now – 12:35 AM
This might be the best series we see these playoffs. Kawhi Leonard finished with 39 point to lead the Clippers to a 105-102 win over Denver to tie their first-round series at 1-1. – 12:35 AM

Kawhi back, huh? – 12:35 AM
Kendrick Perkins @KendrickPerkins
Kawhi MF Jordan. – 12:35 AM
This is the Kawhi we saw in Phoenix at the start of the 2023 playoffs. Complete terminator form. Great to see him back in it. – 12:35 AM
Sam Quinn @SamQuinnCBS Game 1: Seven Kawhi turnovers, 20 Clippers turnovers, Nuggets win in OT. Game 2: Seven Jokic turnovers, 20 Nuggets turnovers, Clippers win by three.
Protect the ball, folks. – 12:34 AM
Kawhi Leonard hits a three to end the half and the Clippers lead 55-52……Terrific half of basketball….Leonard has been sublime…he’s got 18 and James Harden woke up in the last two minutes – 11:09 PM
Ramona Shelburne @ramonashelburne
Kawhi Leonard is 6-6 for 14 points. Zubac is 4-5 for 8 points. Everyone else 4-for-21 but the Clippers have played even with Denver 31-31 with 9:46 to go in the second quarter. – 10:48 PM
Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba End of the first quarter at Ball Arena: The Nuggets lead the Clippers 31-25
Big minutes coming up, because Denver will be without Jokic, while LA will have Kawhi Leonard and Zubac on the floor – 10:40 PM
Vinny Benedetto @VBenedetto Jamal Murray with an impressive defensive play to tie up Norman Powell in transition. Nuggets up 16-12 midway through the first quarter. Murray’s got 5 points. Jokic with three assists.
Kawhi Leonard leads the Clippers with 5 points. – 10:22 PM
