The Los Angeles Clippers and the Phoenix Suns are giving up one heck of a game tonight. After Kawhi Leonard led the Clippers to a win in an incredibly close Game 1, the Suns are trying to make sure the visitors cannot replicate their success.

Kawhi scored 38 points as the Clippers handed Kevin Durant his 7th straight playoff loss. The Clippers took Game 1 115-110.
We’re getting yet another sensational game tonight. It started off strong with Russell Westbrook leading the charge for the Clippers. He was getting points on the board, as well as blocked a huge KD shot.
In the first half, the Clippers were smothering KD with Kawhi or Russ guarding him closely. They forced 4 turnovers in 2 quarters, which is very unusual for Durant.
Kawhi Leonard steals the ball from Kevin Durant, slams it down
We all got an incredible matchup in Game 1. Kevin Durant and Kawhi Leonard were guarding each other closely, and it was fun for all the viewers. Towards the end of Game 1, the two went at each other, trading big bucket after big bucket.
However, Kawhi emerged victorious that time. Tonight, it looked like Kawhi started with the same intensity. While guarding KD, Kawhi put his active hands to work, picked KD’s pocket, and threw it down on the other end.
