Kawhi Leonard Ties Clippers Record as L.A. Wins Fourth Straight

Leonard’s 44-game 20-point streak highlights the steady health driving Los Angeles to two games over .500.

Overview

  • Leonard scored 28 points in a 119-108 win over the Bulls, pushing the Clippers to 34-32 and a four-game winning streak.
  • His 20-plus points in 44 straight games ties Bob McAdoo’s single-season franchise mark from 1974-75.
  • Bennedict Mathurin delivered 26 points off the bench, while Darius Garland sat for left toe injury management on the first night of a back-to-back.
  • Los Angeles has gone 7-1 in March and became the first NBA team to climb above .500 after being at least 15 games under earlier in the same season following a 6-21 start.
  • Following his 45-point game against Minnesota, Leonard’s deadpan “Hey, a fight” reaction to a brief postgame scuffle went viral, and Anthony Edwards lauded him as nearly unstoppable when healthy.
