Late in Tuesday’s fourth quarter, cameras inside Indianapolis’ Bankers Life Fieldhouse caught Kawhi Leonard, the Clippers’ star sidelined in a matching pair of blue sweatpants and sweatshirt, studying a box score.
Amid a 126-115 victory against the Pacers that once again displayed the offensive might the Clippers can wield, it was hard to know which number to focus on first.
There were Paul George’s game-high 36 points and seven rebounds. Combined with his eight assists that led to 18 points, the All-Star accounted for 42% of his team’s points in one of his most impressive all-around performances since joining the team two years ago.
