The Los Angeles Clippers brought their star Kawhi Leonard back to the lineup, but it didn’t go well in a 119-117 comeback victory on the road against the Charlotte Hornets. Leonard scored 16 points and hit a clutch jumper in the final seconds to seal the score for Los Angeles. “I don’t think anybody enjoys playing this game more than me,” Leonard told The Associated Press after the game. “It gave me joy when I was able to play. Glad I made that shot.”
The Miami Heat seemed to run out of steam in the 2nd half of Game 2 of two nights, a 116-96 home loss to the Detroit Pistons. Tyler Herro led all scorers with a season-high 34 points. “We just didn’t play well,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra told The Associated Press after the game. “I think we’ve been fairly consistent defensively for three quarters, and then the floodgates open.”
Kawhi Leonard returned to the starting lineup for the Clippers’ final game, a 119-117 win over the Charlotte Hornets on the road. The Clippers are finally healthy, and they’re a dangerous club when all of their players are in the lineup. Paul George also returned from a hamstring strain and had 19 points and seven assists. The Heat is faltering now and looks nothing like the team that broke out in the Eastern Conference in the first half of last season. They finished fifth in 3-point percentage, which spells disaster in today’s NBA, a team whose survival depends on long throws. Expect Leonard and George to set the tone and grab a road win early.
