The Clippers won for the seventh time in nine games by beating the Toronto Raptors 124-113 on Wednesday morning, December 28 as Kawhi Leonard impressed.
"Just take what the defense is giving, not forcing it, not worrying about shots," Clippers head coach Ty Lue said of Leonard who finished with just 15 points on 5-for-12 shooting.
"We knew Nick [Nurse - the Raptors head coach] wasn’t going to let him play, so double teams, triple teams, just making the right reads, the right pass
"That’s what it takes to win. You’ve got to sacrifice."
