Leonard’s 37 points and 10 rebounds led San Antonio’s 96-82 win Monday night against the Memphis Grizzlies, giving the Spurs a 2-0 edge in their Western Conference playoff series. For the second straight time, Leonard notched a career playoff high in points. Oh, and he hit all 19 of his free-throw attempts in his latest performance.

Shaquille O’Neal and Charles Barkley called Leonard the NBA’s second-best player behind LeBron James during Monday’s TNT broadcast.
