Kawhi Leonard leads charge for LA Clippers against Kings
“I got to be better and take care of the ball a lot better, but for me, it’s fun,” George said. “It’s not going to be perfect, but I thrive being on the floor and trying to make my teammates better.”
“We got to keep pumping Zu. Zu just doesn’t know how dominant he can be,” George added. “You forget how young he is and he’s still a baby. He’s got to own being the biggest guy on the floor.”
“We’re still trying to get better. That’s our mindset,” Leonard said. “We want to keep it moving. It’s the first leg of the season, we got to finish it out. We’re not satisfied.”
The Clippers broke the game open with 34 points in the third quarter, when they had scoring runs of 9-0 and 13-0. Leonard and Zubac had five points apiece in the second spurt that helped send Los Angeles into the fourth leading 95-75.
