Clippers Fall to Nuggets 111-91, but Kawhi Leonard Dominates in Debut

The game began with a heavy dose of Kawhi Leonard, as the Clippers’ new superstar made his impact felt from tip-off. He scored or assisted on almost all of the Clippers’ buckets the first few minutes of the game, showcasing his shooting, playmaking, and creation abilities to great effect. He and his teammates were definitely still a little unclear on positioning and spacing, but the overall offense looked far better than the Clippers first two games, even without Pat Beverley and Rodney McGruder. This was helped by Landry Shamet, who came out of his slump to nail a four-point play and a gorgeous layup.
