DENVER -- The Los Angeles Clippers and Denver Nuggets' first-round clash shifted in Game 2, with the Clippers stealing homecourt advantage and winning 105-102 on the road. The obvious highlight was the absurd performance of Kawhi Leonard, who went 15-of-19 from the field on the way to 39 points, mostly on jump shots.

In his first loss as Nuggets interim coach, David Adelman kept his last timeout in his pocket as time expired on the Nuggets in Game 2 against the Clippers.
