Kawhi puts up career-high 55 for streaking Clips

Key Highlights

• All five starters were in their 30s, with Kris Dunn (31) and Leonard (34). Cade Cunningham finished with 27 points for the Eastern Conference-leading Pistons after being held scoreless in the first half while in foul trouble.
• Jalen Duren had 18 points and 14 rebounds, and Jaden Ivey added 11 points for Detroit, which lost back-to-back games for just the second time this season. Playing without center Ivica Zubac for the third consecutive game, Los Angeles was all business from the start.
• The Clippers' first double-digit lead came four minutes into the game at 16-6 on a 3-pointer from Harden. The Clippers led by as many as 20 points in the first half when Leonard scored 25 points.
• The Pistons pulled within nine points twice in the third quarter before a 16-5 run gave the Clippers another 20-point lead at 81-61 on a Leonard 3-pointer. Leonard became the second player in franchise history to score at least 40 points in consecutive games at home, joining Bob McAdoo.
