Overview

  • The Clippers, who trailed by 24, won 114-113 on Friday on Leonard’s jumper with 0.4 seconds left in Indianapolis.
  • A frantic finish followed the shot as Indiana threw away an inbound and then missed two separate pairs of free throws in the final 0.1 seconds.
  • Darius Garland led Los Angeles with 30 points, Leonard added 28, and Bennedict Mathurin scored 17 in his first game back in Indianapolis since the trade.
  • Leonard logged his 50th straight 20-point game, becoming the 14th NBA player to reach that streak.
  • The victory moved the Clippers to 38-36 with four straight wins and gave coach Tyronn Lue his 400th career victory, and they visit Milwaukee on Sunday while Indiana fell to an NBA-worst 16-58.
