DALLAS —
In a game that became testy in the fourth quarter, the health of Kawhi Leonard was paramount for the Clippers.
Leonard was listed as questionable with right knee inflammation for Game 3, and though he started Friday night, he rarely looked sharp during the Clippers’ 101-90 loss to the Dallas Mavericks at American Airlines Center.
Leonard, who was in and out of the game, departed for the final time with 4:09 left and the Clippers down by 15 points.
