The LA Clippers defeated the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday night in what was a historic performance for the team. Winning by a franchise record 59 points, the Clippers also made NBA history by becoming the first team to score at least 125 points while holding their opponents under 70.

This game featured Kawhi Leonard’s best performance of the season, as the two-time Finals MVP scored 23 points in 24 minutes. Playing just his fourth game of the season, Leonard looked the most comfortable he has thus far.

Leonard scored 11 of his 23 points in the third quarter, going a perfect 4/4 from the field in that frame.
