Watch: Kawhi drains dagger 3, blocks Harden for the win

Kawhi Leonard showed up late, but he's announcing his candidacy for MVP.

Leonard drilled a pullup three with a hand in his face to put the San Antonio Spurs up two, then tracked back the length of the court for a chasedown block against James Harden, before securing the rebound and drilling another two freebies.

The two-time reigning Defensive Player of the Year finished with 39 points, six rebounds, five assists, and two blocks on 12-of-18 shooting in the thrilling 112-110 victory.
