Kawhi Leonard locks down Russell Westbrook - 2016 NBA WCSF

Leonard did a great job defensively on Westbrook in the 2016 WCSF. The majority of Westbrook's numbers came on Manu, Parker, Green, or other defenders, but he looked to score far less often with Leonard guarding him. A large number of Westbrook's turnovers were also beacuse of Leonard's defense, both on and off the ball. Westbrook had a big speed advantage, but Leonard used his length and size to make up for it. Unless Westbrook's numbers take a big dip in the 2016 WCF, and possibly the Finals, he will join - Magic Johnson (1986, 1987, 1991) - Kevin Johnson (1989, 1990) - Steve Nash (2005, 2006) as the only players to average 20+ ppg and 10+ apg in a playoff run past the 2nd round
