Kawhi Leonard once again shocked the world on Monday night, dropping the hammer on Derrick Favors. The Los Angeles Clippers superstar is on a mission right now, trying to lead his team to the Western Conference Finals.
The Klaw has been unstoppable in the last two games of the series. In Game 4, he took things too far, posterizing Favors, shocking every fan at the Staples Center.

The play was so good that even Jazz’s players couldn’t believe it. Their reactions were priceless, and the NBA community noticed that. Every Utah player on the court had a big reaction while watching the Klaw destroying their teammate.

As for Kawhi, he was as calm as usual, not paying much attention to one of the best dunks we’ve seen this season.
Even after throwing down one of the dunks of the year, it’s next play mentality for Kawhi Leonard. #ThatsGame

The Clippers tied the series 2-2 after a 118-104 win over the Jazz. Kawhi finished the night with 31 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists. This team keeps demonstrating is not a good idea to sleep on them.
Game 5 is scheduled for Wednesday, with the Californians trying to steal home-court advantage at the Vivint Arena. Kawhi is inspired right now, and this is a man you don’t want to mess with. Just when people started putting the Jazz in the NBA Finals, the Clips have resurfaced.
