Kawhi Leonard, Clippers Wow Fans With OT Win vs. Curry, Warriors amid NBA Playoff Race

The Los Angeles Clippers earned a hard-fought victory over the Golden State Warriors on Sunday, winning by the final score of 124-119 in overtime.

Led by Kawhi Leonard's 33 points, the Clippers held off the Warriors after initially facing a 12-point deficit in the first half.

With Golden State trailing by three points and six seconds left in overtime, Buddy Hield wasn't able to connect on a game-tying attempt from behind the arc.

Los Angeles clinched a playoff spot with the win and will enter the playoffs as the No. 5 seed in the Western Conference.

Meanwhile, the Warriors dropped to No. 7 following the loss and are set to compete in the play-in tournament for a chance to secure a playoff berth.

Leonard scored 33 points and dished out seven assists while shooting 13-of-19 from the field.

James Harden finished with a game-high 39 points to go along with 10 assists of his own, while Ivica Zubac scored 22 points and pulled down 17 rebounds.

Fans were amazed with the late heroics from Leonard and the Clippers.

Stephen Curry scored 36 points while shooting 7-of-12 from three-point territory and Jimmy Butler dropped 30 points, but it ultimately wasn't enough for Golden State to come away with a win.

The Clippers will now face the Denver Nuggets in the first round of the playoffs, while the Warriors are preparing to host the Memphis Grizzlies in the play-in tournament.
