Kawhi Leonard gets it however he wants it.

The San Antonio Spurs star picked up some steals in typical Kawhi fashion Thursday night. In the first half, "The Claw" poked the ball away from Devin Booker before outrunning the youngster to snatch it and take it to the other end for a dunk.

In the second half, he followed up a miss by swiping the ball right out of Tyson Chandler's hands and laying it up.

Plays like this will help Leonard's case for winning his third consecutive Defensive Player of the Year award. He finished with 18 points, 10 rebounds, four assists, and two steals (all team highs) in the Spurs' 107-92 victory.
