OCEANSIDE, CA — The Los Angeles Clippers were among the last teams to play their first preseason game, but it was well worth the wait. Kawhi Leonard and co. traveled to Oceanside, CA to kick off their preseason schedule against the Guangzhou Loong-Lions on Thursday night.

The Clippers defeated the Loong-Lions, 142-95, behind a team-high 18 points in 18 minutes from Kawhi Leonard. It was the team's first game following six days of training camp and scrimmages in the first nine days, starting September 30th.

“It was good,” Kawhi Leonard said following the win. “It's always great to see what we've been working on that practice and then see how we could perform in front of fans with a lot of distractions. So it was great. It was great.”

Leonard was one of six players in double-figures.
