Paul George and Kawhi Leonard led the Los Angeles Clippers past the Denver Nuggets in Game 3 (113-107).

The two superstars combined for 55 points in the contest. George had 32 points (12/18 shooting, 5/7 from beyond the arc) and Leonard added 23 points (9/19 shooting), 14 rebounds and six assists.

For his part, Nikola Jokic flirted with the triple double (32 points, 12 boards, eight assists), but could not lead Denver to the victory.

It was a hard-fought battle from start to finish, with the Clippers coming back from a 12-point deficit and sealing the deal in crunch time.

Los Angeles leads the series 2-1, with Game 4 taking place on Wednesday.
