With his co-stars struggling, Kawhi Leonard carried the LA Clippers to a win on Friday night vs. the Orlando Magic. Leonard finished with 29 points, 11 rebounds, 5 assists, 4 steals, and 2 blocks on an efficient 57.1% from the field. James Harden went just 3/12 from the field, and Paul George went just 4/14, but had three of those baskets in the fourth quarter.

Speaking on the broadcast after the game, Leonard was asked what the Clippers can learn from their last two games - both tough road wins, and said, "It's not gonna go our way. We gotta stick it out throughout the whole game. And just keep fighting."

The last two wins may not have been pretty for the Clippers, but at this point in the season they need each win they can get. Trying to maintain their hold on the fourth seed, the Clippers know the New Orleans Pelicans are going to continue their pursuit of that spot.

It has been an up and down last few weeks for the Clippers, but the hope is that these last two wins over Philadelphia and Orlando can serve as somewhat of a turning point for this group as they look to gather some momentum entering the playoffs. Behind Leonard, the Clippers got a big win on Friday.
