“Kawhi Leonard Is the Most Poised!”: Paul George Describes Surviving Stephen Curry’s 50-Burger, Praises Russell Westbrook

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.

Stephen Curry erupted for 50 points, trying his best to carry the Warriors over the line and snap an eight-game road losing streak.

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. The game did not disappoint. Steph exploded for a 50-burger. On the other hand, Kawhi and the Clippers delivered timely buckets and beat the Dubs on the boards and turnovers to take control of the game.

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.
