With goals from Kawhi Leonard, John Collins, and Kris Dunn, the Los Angeles Clippers defeated the Sacramento Kings 114-111 in another NBA regular season game. Head coach Tyronn Lue stated that Kawhi Leonard's aggressive play was a key factor in the team's victory.
Kawhi Leonard scored 31 points and had 7 assists in this game, John Collins added 22 points and 1 assist, while Kris Dunn contributed 15 points and 5 assists for the Los Angeles Clippers.
When discussing Kawhi Leonard's aggressiveness in the game, Los Angeles Clippers head coach Tyronn Lue said, "Kawhi Leonard was on fire, assisting Kris Dunn on a crucial three-pointer, and then assisting Derrick Jones Jr. on a four-point play from the corner. All of that was very important. That's how games are sometimes, and with the All-Star break approaching, we've already played 50 games, so the most important thing is to keep going."
"Our players all got to their positions and executed the plays. Like I said, Kawhi Leonard delivered a crucial three-pointer to Kris Dunn, and Derrick Jones Jr. made a four-pointer, which was very important. It's about trusting the pass."
Tyronn Lue continued, "John Collins has become more comfortable and doesn't think as much as he used to on offense or defense. Instead, he's started playing more freely because he understands what we want to do on both ends of the court."
“We looked a bit slow and out of sorts in the first half, but we gradually got better as the game progressed, so it’s about maintaining that momentum. This win will be important for us no matter who plays in this game.”
