NBA playoffs continued to start. In the Clippers vs. Nuggets G2, Leonard played superbly, scored 39 points, 3 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals and 1 block. At critical moments, one offense and one defense, helping the team win the game. Leonard set a record three times in this game, and excited head coach Tyron Lu said this after the game.

The Clippers vs. Nuggets are really wonderful. After losing G1, Leonard from G2 started to start the state of God of War. He scored 12 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block in the first quarter. Unfortunately, Powell and Bogdanovic were really a scorching game. The two made 2 of 7 shots but failed to score a single point, which made the team fall behind 25:31. In the second and third quarters, Leonard still performed steadily, scored 15 points in 6 of 7 shots, helping the team stabilize the situation. Unfortunately, the two shooters, Powell and Bogdanovic, were still unable to open, and the Clippers only led by 2 points after the third quarter. (Harden also performed well in the second and third quarters)

In the key fourth quarter, the intensity of the confrontation between the two sides was full, and the game became fierce. Leonard still played steadily, with various mid-range hits, and Murray and Porter Jr. also responded repeatedly. At this time, Powell, who the Clippers were waiting for, finally played. He scored 7 points in a single quarter to help the team. But the Nuggets deserved to be the former champion team. Under Jokic's leadership, the scores of both sides were unable to be widened. In the last minute, the Clippers led by 103:102 by 1 point. Leonard held the ball and faced Gordon, the Nuggets' strongest defensive player, who asked his teammates to pull it apart and scored steadily. On the other hand, the defensive end completed a steal against Jokic, and finally killed the game with one offense and one defense. In this game, Leonard really gave all his money, allowing fans to see what the God of War Card is. He played 39 minutes in the game, made 15 of 19 shots, 14 of 17 three-pointers, and scored 5 of 5 free throws to score the highest 39 points, 3 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals and 1 block, with a huge effect on both offense and defense. With the two shooters Powell and Pogdanlovic collectively failing, they relied on their own personal abilities to stabilize the basic market. Finally, when Powell broke out in the final quarter, he took away the game with one offense and one defense.

Leonard set a record for 3. First of all, this is the fourth time in his career that he scored 30+ points in a single game of 75+% shooting percentage, tied for the first place in history with Onis and Jabbar. Secondly, he scored 30+ points in 15 playoffs, ranking first in the Clippers' history. Finally, he became the fourth player in NBA history to win 39+ in a single game with 91+% in the playoffs. After winning the game, Clippers coach Tyron Lu was very excited. He said in an interview: As long as Leonard stays healthy, we can win any series. It can be seen how heavy the little Ka is in Lu's heart.

To be honest, Leonard in this game really allowed fans to see Leonard in the playoffs in 2019 during the Raptors. Facing the 76ers' super forward group, Van Vleet and Danny Green played in a poor performance, and finally won the series with the final victory, and later reversed the Bucks and defeated the Warriors to win the championship. The healthy Leonard is an unquestionable top star in the league.
