“It was great,” Leonard said. “I have to stay focused and maintain my zen because we have one day off and then games for about two weeks. I’m going to enjoy this one tonight and am happy we got the win.”

The Clippers (10-21) extended their winning streak to four games as Leonard surpassed his previous NBA best of 45 points, achieved while with Toronto. Leonard had 51 points by the end of the third quarter as the Clippers dominated the Pistons, who hold the NBA’s second-best record at 24-8.

Leonard shot 17-of-26 from the floor, 5-of-10 from three-point range, and 16-of-17 from the free-throw line, contributing 11 rebounds, five steals, three blocked shots, and two assists. James Harden added 28 points for the Clippers, while Cade Cunningham led Detroit with 27 points.

Toronto’s Scottie Barnes delivered a triple-double with 23 points, 10 assists, and a career-high and club record-tying 25 rebounds to lead the Raptors over visiting Golden State 141-127 in overtime.

Immanuel Quickley scored 27 points and Brandon Ingram added 26 to lead Toronto, while Stephen Curry scored a game-high 39 points for the Warriors, whose three-game win streak was snapped.

Quickley scored five points in overtime, while Barnes and Ingram each added four for Toronto, which opened the extra session on a 10-0 run and never looked back.
