Kawhi Leonard's Heroics Lead Clippers Past Pelicans
The Clippers star buries a 20-foot jumper at the buzzer and finishes with 34 points in a 126-124 victory over winless New Orleans in an NBA Cup group-stage opener.
Maybe it was playing at Intuit Dome and the energy derived from the home crowd, or maybe it was seeing guard Bradley Beal in uniform again, that eased the Clippers' struggles. Whatever the reason, a game-winning shot from Kawhi Leonard at the buzzer capped a 126-124 victory.
The Clippers (3-2) suffered lapses in their defense down the stretch and were forced to hold off a late run by the Pelicans, who had closed to within 124-122 with 19 seconds left.
Kawhi Leonard finishes with 34 points in a 126-124 victory.
