LOS ANGELES (AP) — Kawhi Leonard scored 14 of his 21 points in the final five minutes and the Los Angeles Clippers rallied from an 18-point fourth-quarter deficit to beat the Brooklyn Nets 125-114 on Sunday.
The Clippers took the lead for the first time on a basket by Leonard with 2:50 left. They closed the game on a 22-0 run, capped by Leonard’s three-pointer from the corner, to win for the 10th time in 12 games.
James Harden led the Clippers with 24 points and 10 assists. Russell Westbrook added 23 points off the bench.
Leonard and Paul George battled for most of the game. They combined to go 11 of 32 from the floor. George finished with 12 points and seven rebounds.
Mikal Bridges scored 20 of his 26 points in the first half to lead the Nets, who were coming off an 18-point victory over LeBron James and the Lakers on Friday night.
Down 18, the Clippers closed the game on a 39-10 run.
The Nets, who were 14 of 39 from three-point range, mightn’t make a shot during the Clippers’ turnaround.
