SAN ANTONIO (AP) – Kawhi Leonard had a postseason career-high 32 points and the San Antonio Spurs never trailed in dominating the Los Angeles Clippers 100-73 on Friday night to take a 2-1 lead in their first-round series.
The Clippers scored a franchise postseason low and their 11 points in the third were their fewest in any quarter this season.
Boris Diaw had 15 points and Danny Green added 11 for San Antonio, which led by as many as 37 points after two tense games in Los Angeles.
Tim Duncan was held to four points on 2-for-6 shooting but his production wasn’t needed with Leonard displaying his offensive game a day after being named Defensive Player of the Year.
Blake Griffin had 14 points and 10 rebounds and DeAndre Jordan added 10 points for the Clippers.
