Who says nobody plays defense in The Exhibition?
It didn’t take long for Kawhi Leonard to get on the board in the NBA’s yearly offensive exhibition otherwise known as the All Star Game. In the first minute, he picked off DeMar DeRozan and took it the other way for a dunk.

He also had this moment after Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook shared the court.

At half time, Kawhi is the only West starter to have a positive plus/minus, and he already has at least one basket, dunk, steal, rebound and assist. He just needs a dunk to completely remove every zero from his box score — but the way no one’s really trying to defend in this game (97-92 at the half), don’t hold your breath for that.
