Kawhi Leonard, ‘confident’ Clippers plot to topple Nuggets

The Los Angeles Clippers were in the midst of a forgettable start to the season the last time they played the Denver Nuggets.

Things have turned around quickly for Los Angeles, which visits the Nuggets on Friday night in the second of three matchups between the teams this season.

The Clippers began the season with a 6-21 record, and one of those setbacks was a 130-116 loss at home to the Nuggets on Nov. 12. Kawhi Leonard didn't play in that game but he is healthy and competing at a high level now.
