INGLEWOOD, Calif. — Kawhi Leonard scored 20 points and Ivica Zubac added 14 points and 13 rebounds as the Clippers rolled past the Mavericks 114-91 on Friday night, marking their third straight win.
Norman Powell had 14 points, James Harden scored 13, and the Clippers led by 25 in the second quarter and 35 in the fourth before resting their starters. L.A. has now won 13 of its last 16 games and is tied for the No. 6 seed in the West.
Dallas, missing Anthony Davis (adductor) and Kyrie Irving (ACL), was led by Naji Marshall with 22 points. The Mavs shot just 20% from three and never threatened after falling behind early.
The teams meet again Saturday in Inglewood.
