If you thought Paul George’s absence meant a flood of buckets from Kawhi Leonard, then you thought wrong.
Since Leonard returned, he has a 13:1 assist to turnover ratio. Foes have found it hard to score. And the Clippers’ offense is 📈

Just finished up LAC-UTA:
-Gonna need to see more playmaking from Sexton and Clarkson while Conley is out. They put too much of that on the bigs.
-Clips PGs got wherever they wanted all game. Nice passing game from Kawhi too.
-Really fun game between two teams playing well. – 11:19 AM

LA beats Jazz 121-114 after losing 17-point lead.
30 for Norman Powell, 27 for Reggie Jackson. Another single-digit game for Kawhi Leonard, but he was a +12. His health bears watching, as usual.
26:16 assist-TO ratio for LA.
Clippers go up to Golden State before Thanksgiving. – 12:56 AM

Clippers got Kawhi Leonard out of there. He was only in the game to start 4th to, you know, get Clippers a quick lead.
Next time Leonard returns, it is to close. – 12:31 AM

Jazz take control of the game by beating the Clippers in possession game. They have 6 more offensive rebounds and 3 more takeaways entering 4th quarter, now lead 93-88 after outscoring LA by 15 points in 3rd quarter. 12 of that came with Kawhi on bench.
Jordan Clarkson = 6/7 FTs – 12:16 AM

The Clippers can’t hold onto the ball and their control of this game has slipped with every turnover. The next segment of Kawhi minutes in the fourth quarter will be key. How much can the Clippers settle down? – 12:13 AM

+/- superstar Kawhi Leonard is a +11 at halftime.
The usual high floor that we’ve seen from Kawhi so far. Low volume (2 points, 1/4 FGs, 0/1 3s, no FTs), 2 assists, no turnovers.
5 Clippers have more shot attempts than Leonard at halftime. – 11:39 PM
