WATCH: Kawhi Leonard Picks Kevin Durant’s Pocket, Slams the Ball Down on the Other End

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.

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.

It was a huge play but what else can one expect from Kawhi Leonard? The 2x DPOY is showing off all of his moves here, and the fans are absolutely loving it.
