The Lead
There are several superstar duos currently flourishing in the NBA. LeBron James and Anthony Davis with the Lakers, Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown with the Celtics, Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons with the Sixers, Rudy Gobert and Donovan Mitchell with the Jazz and any combination of the Nets’ Big Three of Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving and James Harden are a few of them. But none have been quite as dominant to this point of the season than the Clippers’ Kawhi Leonard and Paul George, who both made their return to L.A.’s lineup on Friday after missing the last two games due to health and safety protocols. The Orlando Magic had no answers for either of them, as they combined for 50 points in the Clippers’ 116-90 victory at Amway Center.
