Follow usSan Antonio coach Gregg Popovich didn’t like the scenes when Spurs fans booed former star Kawhi Leonard and the Los Angeles Clippers. Halfway through the game the coach grabbed the microphone and chastised the crowd at the Frost Bank Center.
“Excuse me for a second,” Popovich said, silencing the crowd late in the first half. “Can we stop all the booing and let these guys play? Have a little class. It’s not who we are. Knock off the booing.”
Leonard had 24 points as the Clippers beat San Antonio 109-102 on Wednesday night, handing the Spurs their 10th straight loss.

“I thought that was an awesome moment, despite the fans booing, I think, even more,” Clippers star Paul George said. “I think that was a hell of a moment, Pop having Kawhi’s back in that situation.” Leonard has been jeered by Spurs fans since he demanded a trade in 2018 and jointed the Toronto Raptors.
