The LA Clippers are in the midst of a tough stretch, holding a disappointing 8-21 record with a win last night versus the Houston Rockets. The team has won just four games in its past 16 outings, a slide that has seen them plummet down the Western Conference standings.
Amidst this failure, however, Kawhi Leonard delivered a season-high 41 points in the recent 128-108 victory over the Rockets. While this performance offered a much-needed, albeit fragile, glimmer of hope, it raises a painful question: Is one great game enough to justify the superstar's massive contract and the franchise-altering decisions made for him?
