Leonard had his best game of the season in Monday’s win against the league-leading Celtics, and the five-time All-Star finding his form after a season away is a promising sign for a team that is 6-…
LOS ANGELES — From Paul George’s side of the court, Kawhi Leonard appeared close to being in midseason form – diving for loose balls, cutting to the basket, burying 3-point shots.
“He came to the bench telling guys, like, “Let’s run, let’s get out and run, let’s play faster.” When you hear that from Kawhi, that’s a good sign.” Leonard wasn’t ready to declare himself fully back from missing all of last season after having surgery to repair his torn ACL. He didn’t put extra emphasis on shooting 10 for 12 from the field, including two 3-pointers, even if it was his best game this season. Even if it did come against the Eastern Conference leaders.“I don’t want to be here tonight. I’m focusing on the end of the year,” Leonard said when asked if Monday’s game was any indication of where he is at in his return.
