Kawhi Leonard put a vintage performance together on Monday night as the Los Angeles Clippers evened up their series with the Denver Nuggets, scoring 39 points on 15-of-19 shooting and once again looking like one of the more ruthlessly efficient players to put on a uniform.

The Los Angeles Clippers defeated the Denver Nuggets in Game 2 of the first round, and James Harden says all credit goes to Kawhi Leonard.

Kawhi Leonard scored 21 points and the Los Angeles Clippers rolled to a 117-83 victory over Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets to take a 2-1 lead in their first-round playoff series.
