In recent weeks, Kawhi Leonard has looked every bit the elite scorer and perimeter defender the Clippers thought they were getting in 2019 when the NBA Finals MVP joined the team.

Kawhi Leonard and the No. 5 seed Los Angeles Clippers are tied 1-1 in their first-round playoff series with the No. 4 seed Denver Nuggets. After splitting the first two games in Denver, the Clippers are heading home for the first-ever playoff game at Los Angeles' Inuit Dome on Thursday night.

Kawhi Leonard missed the Paris Olympics and played in just 37 regular-season games for the Clippers. But when he's on the court, he's unstoppable.
