Record defeat for drowning Lakers

San Antonio (USA), April 6: Kawhi Leonard matched his career-high with 26 points and set a career-high with seven steals as the San Antonio Spurs rolled past Golden State 107-92 on Sunday, ending the Warriors’ 12-game winning streak while extending their own to seven straight.

San Antonio also extended its home winning streak over Golden State to 32 straight, dating back to 1997, the season before Duncan arrived.

Tim Duncan had 19 points and Danny Green added 18 points for San Antonio, which led by as many as 28 points.

In other games, Indiana got injured star Paul George back just in time, beating Miami 112-89 to remain in contention for the playoffs.

Houston overcame Russell Westbrook’s 11th triple-double of the season to beat Oklahoma City 115112, and LeBron James recorded his first tripledouble since returning to Cleveland to lift the Cavaliers over Chicago for a 99-94 win.

George finished with 13 points in 15 minutes — his first action for the Pacers since breaking his right leg on August 1.
