Leonard hits game-winner as Spurs slip by Pacers

Kawhi Leonard curled around a LaMarcus Aldridge screen, temporarily freeing himself from the shadow of Paul George, skirted the baseline, and received the inbound pass from Pau Gasol. Taking his time, he backed George down on the left block (where he’d scored on him earlier on a nifty baby hook), faked one way and turned over his right shoulder. The shot went in, and the Spurs took the lead 100-99 with 2.9 seconds left. The Pacers got one last look at the basket, but George’s three hit the front side of the rim and bounced out as the final horn sounded.
