Kawhi Leonard leads the Clippers past the Lakers in NBA opener

Kawhi Leonard was tremendous in the opening night of the NBA and helped the LA Clippers defeat their rivals LA Lakers (112-102).

Leonard finished the game with 30 points, on 10/19 shooting, while four more players scored in double figures for the winners.

On the other hand, Danny Green had a team-high 28 points (7/9 from the three-point range) for the losing squad, with Anthony Davis (10 rebounds) and LeBron James (nine rebounds, eight assists) adding 25 and 18 points, respectively.

The Lakers made a great start (2-13), yet the Clippers made a come-back and led by as many as 14 points.

Even though the Lakers reclaimed the lead thanks to a 15-0 run (85-82), the Clippers stood tall in the fourth quarter and sealed the deal.
