""Tried to get something going left, saw a double team," Leonard said. "So I spun and just got to a spot and shot over the top.""
""He's a shot maker," Rockets forward Kevin Durant said. "He can make shots from all over the floor. Then they're missing a couple of guys, so they're playing through him the majority of the night. He's just patient out there, one of the greatest of all time. You've got to be worried about a guy like that all game.""
""Give him the ball and get out of the way," Clippers guard Kris Dunn said of Leonard. "Get ready for defense, honestly. He's one of the best to get to a spot. He knows his spot. Once he gets going, it's just him and the basket, honestly.""
Kawhi Leonard drained a 13-foot turnaround fadeaway and sank the free throw with 2 seconds remaining to lift the Clippers to a 105-102 victory over the Rockets. Leonard finished with a game-high 27 points, including 19 in the fourth quarter, and extended his streak to 33 consecutive 20-point games, a top mark in Clippers history. The Clippers rallied from a deficit as large as 15 points and improved to 20-7 since Dec. 20, the best record in the NBA over that span. Leonard has reached 15-plus points in the fourth quarter five times this season, and the Clippers are 7-0 in clutch situations over the recent stretch.
