THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Sacramento, Calif. — In a playoff-type atmosphere and with postseason seeding at stake, Kawhi Leonard’s hook shot at the buzzer gives the Los Angeles Clippers a 111-110 overtime victory over the Sacramento Kings.

James Harden produced 29 points, 9 rebounds, and 11 assists for the Clippers (35-29, 22-10 at the Intuit Dome), who are firmly in 8th place in the Western Conference and 1 ½ games ahead of the Kings.

Harden made the game-tying basket late in the 4th quarter that put the game into overtime. Leonard finished the game with 17 points despite shooting 7 of 19 from the field and 1 of 7 in 3-point territory. Derrick Jones Jr. had 17 off the bench for the Clippers.

DeMar DeRozan led the Kings with 31 points, 7 rebounds, and 10 assists. Zach LaVine added 30 points, 7 rebounds, and 2 assists for the Kings (33-30, 17-16 on the road), who are 20-12 under the direction of interim head coach Doug Christie.

Keegan Murray assembled 15 points, 6 rebounds, and 2 assists, while Jonas Valančiūnas had 9 points, 17 rebounds, and 7 assists. The Kings are 0-3 against the Clippers this season and 3-4 in overtime contests.

Devin Carter’s made 3-ball gave the Kings a 39-31 margin halfway through the 2nd quarter. The Clippers mounted a 16-6 run to take over with a 47-45 advantage on a 3-pointer made by Batum. The Clippers lead 51-49 at the half.

The Clippers moved up to a 9-point lead as the 3rd quarter got underway. The Kings reacted with a 16-2 run, stamped by a basket by LaVine that put them out in front 70-70. The Clippers tied the game 70-70 briefly on a 3-point goal by Harden but LaRavia would end all scoring in the frame with a trey that gave the Kings a 75-72 lead.

The Kings led 95-88 with 2:18 remaining in the game. The Clippers outscored the Kings 9-2, including a layup by Harden to tie the game 97-all with 11.9 seconds left. LaVine missed an 18-foot fadeaway shot as the buzzer sounded to send the game into overtime.
