Westbrook reaches 25,000 career points and Leonard scores 33 to lead Clippers past Pistons 136-125

Associated Press  

DETROIT — Russell Westbrook scored 23 points to become the 25th player in NBA history with 25,000 points, Kawhi Leonard had 21 of his 33 points in the first half and the Los Angeles Clippers put on an offensive show in a 136-125 win over the Detroit Pistons on Friday night. “I don’t take any of this for granted.” Los Angeles got off to a slow start while trailing by as many as 14 points in the first quarter, but scored 109 points in the final three periods. Monty has the Pistons playing pretty good basketball, but it is tough to close games with such a young team.” Paul George added 18 points for the Clippers, who have won seven of eight. “We were going to play him more minutes, but we didn’t need him.” Jalen Ivey had 28 points and Bojan Bogdanovic added 26 for Detroit, which is 4-41 after a 2-1 start.
