Kawhi Leonard scores 30, Paul George has 24 and the Clippers survive Curry’s onslaught for a 134-126 win that moves them into fifth place in the Western Conference.
LOS ANGELES — A day earlier, Clippers coach Tyronn Lue focused practice on shoring up his team’s transition defense. With Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors coming to Crypto.com Arena on Wednesday night, Lue wasn’t taking any chances on slipping up against one of the quickest teams in the league.
Then Kawhi Leonard and Curry got into a mini 3-point shooting contest in the fourth quarter that led to the Warriors trimming a 12-point deficit to seven with 5:33 left. Leonard scored nine of his 30 points on long-range shots – and had eight rebounds and five assists. But he was outdone by Curry, who shot 20 for 28 overall and 8 for 14 from distance for the 12th 50-point game of his career.
