Leonard has 35 points, Clippers outlast Knicks in OT

NEW YORK — Kawhi Leonard scored 35 points, Paul George added 30 and the Los Angeles Clippers beat the New York Knicks 134-128 in overtime Saturday night.

After the Clippers lost a 17-point fourth quarter lead, Nicolas Batum's 3-pointer at the regulation buzzer tied it at 115.

"I wish we could finish the game in the fourth quarter by making some shots to put teams away," Clippers coach Tyronn Lue said. "But, big shot by Nico. Gutsy win by us. Nico makes the big shot and we controlled the overtime."

The Clippers scored the first four points of overtime and never relinquished the lead.
