San Diego State’s own Kawhi Leonard made his Southern California debut on Tuesday night, as the new-look Clippers defeated the new-look Lakers 112-102.  Kawhi scored 30 points to go along with 6 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals, and a block, leading his team past Lebron James and Anthony Davis without the help of his new running mate Paul George.  According to a recent survey of NBA GMs on NBA.com, the Clippers are favored to win the NBA title.  The 2 time NBA Finals MVP will play a major role for the LA Clippers this season and beyond.
