As valuable final seconds ticked away, Kawhi Leonard needed to hurry. He received the ball and went right. Hoping to create a driving lane against Alex Caruso, all he could muster was a deep contested mid-range jumper. As Cason Wallace came over to help, Leonard quickly shot a turnaround fadeaway jumper that clanked the rim.
The critical defensive stop sealed the Oklahoma City Thunder's 103-101 win over the LA Clippers. Battered and bruised without Jalen Williams and Chet Holmgren, OKC dusted off its shoulders and went on the road to beat a red-hot LA squad.
