Kawhi Leonard

It took two years of convincing, but Kawhi Leonard's new game is supercharging the Clippers -- and making them an unexpected threat in the loaded Western Conference.

Kawhi Leonard scored 21 points, James Harden had 16 points and 10 assists, and the Los Angeles Clippers beat the Utah Jazz 115-103 on Tuesday night for their ninth win in 10 games. Kris Dunn added 14 points and a season-best five steals for the Clippers (22-24), who have the best record in the NBA since Christmas. The Clippers took control during a 10-2 run in the third quarter powered powered by Dunn s two steals and layups, along with a 3-pointer that made it 73-61.

Leonard was initially listed as questionable, but he will be available for a third straight game. He had 28 points in 25 minutes on Sunday and should be in for another strong night against Brooklyn.
