The Clippers' confounding incompetence in recent weeks has obscured a major development unfolding in plain sight.
Kawhi Leonard has reclaimed his place as one of the best players in the NBA.
He's averaged 28.4 points in the 22 games he's played since Jan. 8, converting 52.6% of his field goals, including 49.6% of his threes. Equally important: He missed only four games in that stretch and averaged nearly 37 minutes per contest.
