Overview
- Los Angeles is 3-0 at the Intuit Dome after a 126-124 win over the Pelicans decided by Kawhi Leonard’s buzzer-beating jumper.
- Leonard produced a season-high 34 points, while James Harden added 24 points and a season-best 14 assists in the victory.
- Despite the win, the Clippers flagged late-game defense as a concern after nearly giving up a double-digit fourth-quarter lead.
- The Heat fell 130-120 to the Lakers on Sunday, with Jaime Jaquez Jr. scoring 31 points off the bench and Bam Adebayo and Pelle Larsson adding 17 each.
- Tyler Herro has yet to debut this season due to an ankle issue, and Norman Powell, who missed three games with a groin injury, could return against his former team after expressing displeasure with his offseason trade.
