The San Antonio Spurs started the 2016-17 season red-hot and were 33-9 with a two-game winning streak, when the team traveled to Cleveland to take on the Cavaliers. Two nights after exploding for team-high 34 points in a win against the Denver Nuggets, Kawhi once again showed up and scored 41 points.

This was Leonard's sixth consecutive 30+ points game and he shot 50 percent from the field, including 3-for-8 from long range. Kawhi also had 6 rebounds to go along with 5 assists. The regulation period was not sufficient to decide this one and the game went into overtime.

In the overtime, it was again Kawhi who made a huge impact and came up with some big plays to help the Spurs beat the Cavaliers on the road, 118-115.
