Clippers Win Streak Hits Three
Kawhi Leonard scored 29 points as the LA Clippers extended their winning streak to three games with a dominant 130-107 victory over the Indiana Pacers. The recent form keeps them firmly in the Western Conference playoff picture as Leonard appears healthy and locked in.
This recent success is a significant turnaround for a Clippers team that started the season with a 6-21 record. The winning streak has pulled the team to a 30-31 record, bringing them to within one game of .500. Before defeating the Pacers, the Clippers secured a victory over the Golden State Warriors on March 2nd. Their current three-game streak began with a 20-point win over the New Orleans Pelicans on March 1st. Kawhi Leonard has been instrumental in this stretch, scoring 20 or more points in 39 consecutive games. In the win against Indiana, he had 20 points by halftime alone. The victory over the Pacers also highlighted new additions to the team, with Bennedict Mathurin scoring 23 points against his former team. Darius Garland, in his first home game since being acquired from Cleveland, contributed 12 points. This winning streak has solidified the Clippers' position in the competitive Western Conference playoff race, where they currently sit in 9th place. The team will look to extend their winning ways on the road as they embark on a two-game trip. They are set to face the San Antonio Spurs on Friday, followed by a matchup with the Memphis Grizzlies on Saturday.
