"INGLEWOOD, Calif. -- Kawhi Leonard scored a career-high 55 points, James Harden added 28 and the LA Clippers extended their winning streak to a season-high four games with a 112-99 victory over the Detroit Pistons on Sunday night. Leonard went 17-of-26 from the floor, including 5-of-10 from 3-point range, and made 16 of 17 free throws, with his only blemish of the game a missed free throw in the third quarter that ended his run of 64 straight from the line, all this month."
"He scored 26 of his points in the third quarter. Nicolas Batum scored 12 points, while Leonard added 11 rebounds and five steals for Los Angeles, which lost 10 of 11 games before its four-game run. The veteran Clippers took things to the extreme with three starters in Harden, Batum and Brook Lopez age 36 or older. All five starters were in their 30s, with Kris Dunn (31) and Leonard (34)."
