Leonard almost willed the Spurs to a 3-1 series lead Saturday, scoring San
Antonio’s final 16 points of regulation to take the game to overtime and tying
the game with 17 seconds remaining in the extra period on a clutch
three-pointer. In addition to his offensive exploits, the two-time Defensive
Player of the Year made things difficult for the Grizzlies wings with the six
thefts, one short of his total from the previous seven games combined. The
do-everything forward is now averaging 32.5 points (on 58% shooting), 6.5
rebounds, 3.3 assists, 2.5 three-pointers and 2.0 steals in 36.5 minutes per
game during the series.
