The Los Angeles Clippers are proving to be real contenders in the Western Conference. On Thursday night, Kawhi Leonard and the Clippers walloped the Denver Nugg

Nikola Jokic posted a solid triple-double for the Nuggets, scoring 23 points on 9-of-14 shooting, adding 13 rebounds and 13 assists. It wasn't nearly enough for Denver, though, as the blowout loss, at the hands of 18 Clippers 3-pointers, gives them a 2-1 deficit in the series.

Kawhi Leonard missed the Paris Olympics and played in just 37 regular-season games for the Clippers. But when he's on the court, he's unstoppable.
