Clippers edge Pacers in wild 0.4-second finish sparked by Kawhi Leonard

Kawhi Leonard’s 0.4-second jumper gave the Clippers a 114-113 win over the Pacers, but Indiana had two late chances: an inbound turnover off a banked pass and a foul on Bennedict Mathurin, followed by a reset and a final foul on Jay Huff that led to two missed free throws. Leonard finished with 28 points, extending his streak to 50 straight games with at least 20, as the Clippers erased a 24-point first-half deficit to improve to 38-36.
