Kawhi Leonard and Norman Powell had 27 points each and the Los Angeles Clippers rallied to beat the San Antonio Spurs 128-116 on Wednesday night.
Leonard and Powell score 27 points each, Ivica Zubac adds 21 points and 22 rebounds in an intense battle with Spurs star Victor Wembanyama, and the Clippers rally for a 128-116 win.
San Antonio Spurs star big man Victor Wembanyama nearly engaged in a scuffle with LA Clippers center Ivica Zubac during Wednesday's 128-116 home loss.
The star center took exception to a cheap shot delivered by Ivica Zubac in a 128-116 loss that extended the Spurs' home losing streak to five games.
Zubac yelled at the officials earlier in the third quarter for not calling a foul on Harrison Barnes after the Spurs forward blocked his layup. The frustration boiled over when Wembanyama blocked Zubac's attempted dunk with 4:49 remaining in the third quarter and no foul was called.
