Hosting former-Finals MVP Kawhi Leonard is always emotional for the San Antonio Spurs’ fans and players. His untimely departure from the Alamo City caused mayhem for a franchise known for stability. It doesn’t help the fanbase to heal when he comes to town on a random Saturday and runs the score up 25 points.
San Antonio was walloped from the second quarter after holding the deficit to just two. The Clippers built a little bit of momentum in the second quarter, finishing the half 72-61. Scoring wasn’t the issue for the Spurs in the half, making 54.
