Kawhi Leonard Reacts to LeBron James Dominating Clippers
Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James dominated the LA Clippers on Wednesday night, outscoring them on his own in the fourth quarter to overcome a 21-point deficit and get the win.
Speaking with reporters after the game, Clippers star Kawhi Leonard said, "We didn't play well, but you have to give the Lakers credit. LeBron got hot and he carried his team to the win."
On what the Clippers need to do in order to slow James down when he gets it going, Leonard said, "Just try to throw two guys at him. We pretty much did that. His team responded and made shots when he did pass the ball."
Leonard started each possession down the stretch guarding James, but the Lakers were able to get the switch they wanted each time, with Anthony Davis setting the screen to get Daniel Theis switched onto James.
When asked about this after the game, Clippers head coach Ty Lue said the plan coming into the game was to switch, and when James got going in the fourth quarter the plan was to switch and fire. This is what Leonard referenced when he said the Clippers threw two defenders at James once he got hot, but the Lakers star was able to find his teammates, and they made big shots to help seal the win.
