As the LA Clippers tried to hit their stride in their second-round NBA playoff series with the Utah Jazz, Kawhi Leonard appeared at the height of his powers with a massive dunk late in the first half.
Los Angeles entered Monday night's Game 4 at the Staples Center hoping to pull even with the Jazz and got off to a strong start as the Clippers extended their lead to 29 points.
Leonard took a pass from Patrick Beverly and ran down the lane before placing Utah's Derrick Favors on a poster, giving the Clippers a 62-38 lead with 1:24 to go before halftime.
With fans still confined to the Staples Center, the most notable reaction may have been the faces of the stunned jazz players. But the resonance was certainly felt far and wide.
The Clippers won 118-104 to register a 2-2 win in the semi-finals of the Western Conference.
