San Antonio Spurs forward Kawhi Leonard scored 29 points during a series-clinching 103-96 win over the Memphis Grizzlies on Thursday, adding nine rebounds, four assists, three steals and one 3-pointer in 40 minutes.
What It Means:
Leonard was described as a robot at times by Grizzlies' head coach David Fizdale. After the Spurs' Game 6 win, head coach Gregg Popovich said Leonard is the best player in the NBA. Our models agree with Popovich's assessment.
