The Los Angeles Clippers won a very crucial contest tonight. Taking on the Golden State Warriors at home, both teams were tied at 36-33. It wasn’t only a fight for the 5th seed, but also a chance to level the season series, taking away the advantage from the Warriors. Kawhi Leonard and co. made sure they did just the same.

The Los Angeles crowd was treated to a spectacle today. Tonight was the first time that Kawhi Leonard and Paul George were playing against Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson.

It was a very welcome result for the Clippers, who have now won four games in a row. After the game, Paul George was asked about surviving a 50-point game by Steph. This is what he said,

Praising Kawhi a day after ranking himself above the Klaw is incredibly hilarious. However, Kawhi deserves all the flowers tonight. Along with Leonard, PG also spoke about Russ.

Making such a return from an ACL injury isn’t a small joke, and Steph knows all about it. After all, he witnessed his own Splash Brother, Klay Thompson, do the same as well.
