Kawhi Leonard Reacts to James Harden's Historic Night

Kawhi Leonard loved seeing James Harden cook.

James Harden was absolutely magnificent against the Indiana Pacers last night. He became only the second player in NBA history to put up 35 points, 9 assists, and 8 threes in 30 minutes or less. The only other person to do it - James Harden himself.

Quite possibly the only thing better than watching James Harden cook in Harden's 21-point fourth quarter was watching Kawhi Leonard's reactions. Kawhi is often known for his stoic reactions, but he couldn't help himself to jump up and down at Harden's performance. After the game, he gave an equally excited answer about Harden's fourth quarter.

“It was very entertaining," Leonard said. "It was like I paid for some seats tonight. I’m happy to be on this side of him being hot. I’ve seen it a lot being on the opposing team. But tonight it was amazing to watch."

It's hard not to get overly excited about the LA Clippers, but the team has been phenomenal in the month of December. They're currently undefeated in the month, with an 8-0 winning streak. In their last five games, they're averaging 133.4 points and won by an average of 15.8 points. These include wins against the Portland Trail Blazers, Sacramento Kings, Golden State Warriors, New York Knicks, and Indiana Pacers.

Up next for the LA Clippers is an incredibly tough road back-to-back against the Dallas Mavericks and Oklahoma City Thunder.
