Clippers 112, Magic 97 In Orlando, Fla, the Los Angeles Clippers won a game nobody wanted to play.

Kawhi Leonard scored 15 of his 31 points in a big third quarter and the Clippers won 112-97 for their sixth victory in seven games.
No Clippers were available after the game, but Magic forward Aaron Gordon expressed the players’ point of view.
Leonard scored seven straight points for the Clippers in the big third quarter to help Los Angeles stretch a four-point lead to 10.
Landry Shamel and Montrezl Harrell scored 19 points each for the Clippers and Lou Williams added 15.
Leonard also had 14 rebounds, leading Los Angeles to a 53-45 advantage.
Nuggets 117, Rockets 110 Colorado was the epicenter of Kobe Bryant’s worst moment, but even in Denver, in a building where he was frequently booed, there were tears and stunned silence.
It started with a moment of silence for the NBA great, who was killed in a helicopter crash about an hour before the game, and led to chants of “Kobe! Kobe! Kobe!”
The game became secondary on this melancholy Sunday at Pepsi Center as the Denver Nuggets held off the Houston Rockets 117-110.
Jokic gave everything in honor of the player nicknamed Black Mamba.
