Kawhi Leonard Leads Clippers to Victory
The Clippers star scored 34 points, including a game-winning 20-foot jumper at the buzzer, to secure a 126-124 win over the New Orleans Pelicans.
The win came in the NBA Cup group-stage opener for both teams, with the Clippers improving to 3-2 and the Pelicans remaining winless.
The Clippers' defense struggled at times, allowing the Pelicans to close the gap to 124-122 with 19 seconds left, but Leonard's heroics sealed the victory.
Whatever has been bothering the Clippers lately was eased Friday night by a game-winning shot from Kawhi Leonard at the buzzer.
The team's performance was boosted by the energy of the home crowd at Intuit Dome and the return of guard Bradley Beal, who had missed the previous two games due to back issues.
