Clippers guard James Harden drives as Utah Jazz guard Collin Sexton defends during the first half on Monday night at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood. Harden scored 24 of his 41 points in the first quarter and the Clippers overwhelmed the Jazz, 144-107. INGLEWOOD — “What up? What up, what up?” Kawhi Leonard said casually, holding a plate of food as he strolled through the Clippers’ locker room.
The fact that there is any chance that the six-time All-Star would join his teammates for his first road game this season indicates a sooner-than-later return, though Lue would not give a concrete timeframe or any further details on Leonard’s long-awaited return. The Clippers , who came into the game having played just one game since last Sunday , didn’t need Leonard to beat the Jazz or post their highest-scoring game this season. They had a healthy James Harden and Norman Powell.
Harden scored 24 points in the opening 12 minutes – second in franchise history behind only Lou Williams’ 27-point third quarter in a January 2018 game against Golden State – and added another 10 in the second quarter to lead the Clippers to an 81-47 halftime advantage.
