Kawhi Leonard Nears Triple-Double with 31 Points in Clippers' Win

Kawhi Leonard delivered a stellar performance for the Los Angeles Clippers, recording 31 points (9-19 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 12-12 FT), nine rebounds, seven assists, and two steals in 36 minutes during Friday's 114-111 win over the Kings. Leonard, who led all scorers, came within reach of his first triple-double of the season. With James Harden and Ivica Zubac no longer with the team, significant pressure rests on the 34-year-old forward to maintain the Clippers' playoff hopes. Since returning from an ankle issue, he's averaged 25.5 points, 6.0 boards, 4.8 assists, 1.9 threes, and 1.3 steals over his last eight games.
