Kawhi Leonard’s Honest Statement After Clippers vs. Rockets
On Wednesday night, the LA Clippers staged an impressive 20-point comeback against the Houston Rockets. They turned around a 50-30 deficit, outscoring Houston 92-66 for a remarkable victory. Kawhi Leonard played a pivotal role, contributing 28 points, 7 assists, 6 rebounds, and 2 steals on 11/18 shooting from the field. Reflecting on the game during the ESPN broadcast afterward, Leonard admitted to the team’s slow start, emphasizing the need to boost their energy levels.
The Clippers transformed into a different team in the second half, displaying increased intensity to secure the win on the road. Their resilience prevented what could have been another disappointing loss.
Despite a challenging first half where Paul George only managed two points on 1/6 shooting, he bounced back in the second half, finishing with 21 points on 7/15 shooting. James Harden also made significant contributions, tallying 21 points, 7 assists, and 5 rebounds on 6/13 shooting. Next up, the Clippers will return home to face the Chicago Bulls, marking the beginning of a three-game home stand before hitting the road again for matchups against Chicago and New Orleans.
