Kawhi almost smiled after Spur's monster dunk
The Spurs being locked into the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference - and the Spurs being the Spurs - Kawhi Leonard was on the bench for the fourth quarter of Monday's 99-98 loss to the Trail Blazers.
That gave him a perfect view for when Jonathon Simmons did … this:
Simmons, the Spurs' 6-6 backup guard, posterized Blazers 7-footer Meyers Leonard. Meyers Leonard is not related to Kawhi Leonard. Jonathon Simmons is Kawhi Leonard's teammate. One would presume that Leonard would be very happy - perhaps as happy as he was in the season-opener, when Simmons similarly dunked on the Warriors' JaVale McGee.
Let's check the tape:
Everyone was smiling for that one, but maybe Leonard needed a second …
Nope, still no smile.
That's the replay, and that's more a look of admiration.
Wait a second, let's just remember the score. Of course he isn't smiling. It's a close game.
Stay you, Kawhi Leonard.
