The fans who watched Kawhi Leonard put on a masterpiece Friday night against the New Orleans Pelicans witnessed how generational he is when healthy. His pump-fake to game-winner, plus all of the points he scored prior, demonstrate that all he needs to do is turn back the clock, and the LA Clippers will be victorious in the NBA Finals.
Moreover, Leonard posted 34 points, five rebounds, five assists, and six steals in the two-point win on a team that LA struggles mightily against. The two-time champion also went 11-16 from the floor with five three-pointers.
Thus, this was a vintage performance from Leonard.
