The Los Angeles Clippers beat the Denver Nuggets on Monday to even up the first-round series at 1-1. Clippers star forward Kawhi Leonard went off for 39 points in 39 minutes while shooting 15-of-19 from the field, 4-of-7 from beyond the arc and 5-of-5 from the free-throw line.

Harden feels Leonard isn't appreciated enough for working his way back from his most recent injury to lead the Clippers' playoff run.
