Kawhi’s insane streak
Kawhi Leonard pushed his run to a 51st straight 20+ point game while the Clippers beat Milwaukee 127-113 — and the Clips have won five in a row. That kind of scoring consistency is a huge late-season momentum swing. (x.com)
Leonard went 8-for-16 from the field and 4-for-7 from three while playing 22:34 and collecting eight rebounds in the March 29 matchup, per the official NBA box score. (nba.com) Bennedict Mathurin led the Clippers with 28 points and John Collins added 22, while Darius Garland posted 15 points and 11 assists as Los Angeles connected on 45 of 77 shots (58.4%) in the game. (espn.com) Leonard set the Clippers’ franchise mark for consecutive 20-point games on March 15 when he reached 45 straight such outings, surpassing Bob McAdoo’s longtime record. (nbcsports.com) He left that March 15 game with a sprained left ankle and was listed day-to-day before being upgraded to available later in the month, then logging minutes in the late-March road slate. (espn.com) Milwaukee was short-handed against the Clippers — Giannis Antetokounmpo and several others were listed inactive — and Gary Trent Jr. still scored a team-high 36 for the Bucks. (nba.com) The result moved Los Angeles to 39-36 on the season and completed the Clippers’ two-game sweep of Milwaukee in the regular-season series, according to postgame summaries. (espn.com)
