At one point late in Sunday’s third quarter, Kawhi Leonard could be seen walking to center court after the Clippers called a timeout, taking his time walking back to the bench but not before demonstrably pointing out to center Ivica Zubac where he wanted Zubac to be on that previous offensive possession.
Leonard and Zubac then had a brief exchange on the bench, each still pointing to the area of the floor they were seemingly at odds over. Russell Westbrook walked over to where Zubac was sitting and patted the center on the head in an effort to calm things down. To their credit, it does appear that things did smooth over after the game.
