Kawhi Leonard (SF) vs. Philadelphia 76ers’ Tyrese Maxey (PG)
Kawhi Leonard is a foundation for the Clippers, playing in all 32 games so far during this season, and averaging 23.8 points with strong defense stats of 1.7 steals per game. His unique ability to influence the game on both offence and defence of the floor makes him the Clippers main weapon, especially in close games. In spite of that, his turnover rate and personal fouling might be considered key weapons for his opponents, especially in the endgame.
Compared with Tyrese Maxey, the 76ers’ formidable scoring machine who achieved a 25.8 points per game average, the other playmaker earns 6.2 assists per game. His prowess in assists and proper ball care, which reflects in his 3.6 assist-to-turnover ratio, are the main reasons why he is an indispensable assistant. Whilst his defensive stats might not be as outstandingly brilliant as Leonard’s, it is the offensive prowess that could influence the balance of game in the 76ers’ favor.
By the time these two warriors confront each other outside the court, it’s more than the figures show as it’s the styles and functions as well. While the battle for the baselines pits Leonard’s defense against Maxey’s offense, this is going to be a huge point of contention. The game may change direction, and it can be a steal or a basket in the last second that will endorse their performance as the most exciting part.
