Los Angeles Clippers Kawhi Leonard was left unhappy with the team’s overall defensive performance in the match against the Detroit Pistons.
The Clippers came out on top in the contest on Friday at the Little Caesars Arena in Detroit with a score of 136-125. It was the team’s 15th win in the last 18 matches in the competition but it was not enough to keep small forward Kawhi happy with the overall performance on the defensive front.
"It’s between our ears,” he said. “Tonight, we were terrible on our defensive game. I feel like we’ve been running our games off of talent, even our offensive game," Leonard said."It’s a lot of slow pace, and it starts with our defense.
“We have to see who we want to be and start setting goals for ourselves. I feel like these last few games have been based on talent, and we need to be focused on execution."
Leonard himself was extremely impressive in the match as he ended up registering 33 points to go with four rebounds and three assists. It was the third consecutive match where the 32-year-old registered 30 or more points. After that performance, Leonard is now averaging 23.9 points, 6.3 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game.
