The first round series between the Clippers and Mavericks that's seen plenty of twists took another turn in Friday night's Game 6. Behind a star performance from Kawhi Leonard, the Clippers will live to fight another day.
Los Angeles took down Dallas, 104-97, to force a Game 7 at home on Sunday thanks to Leonard's second-half eruption. The two-time NBA Finals MVP scored 45 points, the most in franchise history when facing elimination.
Leonard shot 18-for-25 from the field with six rebounds, three assists and two steals. He also spearheaded a defensive effort that kept the Mavericks' offense at bay for the most part.
