Kawhi Leonard, Paul George enjoy winning return for Clippers

Kawhi Leonard and Paul George returned for the Clippers on Monday night, with the former hitting a game-winning jumper to lift Los Angeles past the host Charlotte Hornets, 119-117.

Leonard, who had missed the previous six games due to a sprained right ankle, scored 16 points overall, none bigger than an 18-foot jumper that put the Clips ahead for good with 1.4 seconds left.

George, who had missed seven consecutive games because of a right hamstring strain, had a team-high 19 points to go with seven assists.

The Clippers also welcomed back guard Luke Kennard, who missed nine straight games with a strained right calf and had nine points.
