After getting trounced by Houston in Game 1, the Spurs punched back on Wednesday night behind a superlative night of ball from Kawhi Leonard. The MVP candidate basically put together a perfect game, shooting 81.3% from the field, 75% from deep and was flawless from the line(5/5). He grabbed seven boards, dished a career postseason-high eight assists, notched three steals and blocked a shot. He finished a game-high plus-24 in 38 minutes.
He was also tasked with checking James Harden on the other end and was even better than one might expect.
