The Los Angeles Clippers defeated the Denver Nuggets in Game 3 of the first round of the NBA Playoffs, and Kawhi Leonard passed a milestone previously held by NBA legends James Worthy and Klay Thompson.

Nikola Jokic posted a solid triple-double for the Nuggets, scoring 23 points on 9-of-14 shooting, adding 13 rebounds and 13 assists. It wasn't nearly enough for Denver, though, as the blowout loss, at the hands of 18 Clippers 3-pointers, gives them a 2-1 deficit in the series.

While nobody shifted into full takeover mode like Kawhi Leonard did in Game 2, the victors used a balanced attack to put the game away. James Harden (20 points, nine assists and six rebounds), Leonard (21 points, 11 rebounds and six assists), Norman Powell (20 points) and Ivica Zubac (19 points and nine rebounds) led the way.
