Leonard has long been a relentless driver to the basket, and on this occasion, he simply could not be denied as he clobbered two terrific defenders on the way to a ferocious slam for the Clippers on Covington.
The Klaw is coming off of an All-Star Game MVP performance, and he is also the heart and soul of a strong Clippers squad with depth to spare and an excellent “number two” on the team in Paul George.
Leonard himself is having a career year at age 28 for the Clippers, as he is putting up career-highs with 27.0 points per game, 7.5 rebounds per game and 5.1 assists per game – all while playing only 32.3 minutes a contest in only 48 games out of a possible 61.
Seemingly, load management works for the Clippers.
