Los Angeles Clippers superstar Kawhi Leonard said Tuesday the team must play smarter basketball in the future after blowing a 3-1 series lead to the Denver Nuggets in the Western Conference semifinals.

“That’s when it comes to the team chemistry, knowing what we should run to get the ball in spots or just if someone’s getting doubled or they’re packing the paint…get smarter as a team,” Leonard told reporters. “Basketball IQ got to get better.”

The Clippers were outscored by a combined 34 points over the final three games of the series to get eliminated from the 2020 NBA playoffs.
