Kawhi Leonard shows his funny side

Kawhi Leonard has been known all around to be serious, keep it strictly business kind of guy. However, every now and then Kawhi shows us that there is more to him than that. Everyone knows of his ‘Fun Guy’ nature.

Tonight, he showed us his funny side during the game. With less than 2 minutes to go in the third quarter, Terrence Mann blew a wide-open 3 pointer and air-balled it. Kawhi cleaned it up, laid the ball in, and got a plus one.

For Kawhi to joke around in a do-or-die game, it boosts the whole team morale as well. It also was a sign of relief for the young Mann, who was probably playing in the biggest game of his young career.

The Clippers now head to Salt Lake City for the Western Conference Semi-Finals against the Jazz. Game 1 of the series will tip-off on Tuesday.
