Clippers vs Mavericks: Twitter Goes Crazy as Kawhi Leonard Destroys Maxi Kleber With an Epic Dunk
The LA Clippers are playing their first game of the playoff series against the Dallas Mavericks. Both Clippers and the Mavs are filled with superstar talents and certainly make up for an intriguing matchup.
With the fourth quarter underway, the game has had multiple lead changes. Superstars Luka Doncic and Kawhi Leonard have put on a show for their respective teams.
While Doncic has scored 31 points along with 8 rebounds and 8 assists, Kawhi has locked down in defense and has also been the offensive outlet for Clippers scoring 25 points with 9 rebounds and 4 assists.
Kawhi Leonard destroys Maxi Kleber in LA Clippers vs Dallas Mavericks series
Kawhi might be known for his incredible two-way prowess. He was already an excellent defender but over the years has developed into an all-round offensive beast. Be it three pointers, mid-range shots and dunks.
Playing against the Mavericks, Kawhi has been the go-to offensive guy for the team. But he has come up clutch in defense as well as he has 4 steals. In one such sequence, Leonard stole the ball from the Mavs and was in transition with two other players.
Going on a three-on one fast break against the Mavs, Kawhi had Paul George and Marcus Morris to pass to. But ‘the Klaw’ took it upon himself and posterized Maxi Kleber. What made this worse that three Clippers’ players stared down Kleber as he fell to the floor, take a look.

Kawhi has had his fair share of slams but this might just top them all given how disrespectful this dunk was in the first place.
