Kawhi Leonard scored 39 points in LA Clippers' 105-102 win over Denver Nuggets in Game 2 of their first -round playoff series.

Leonard missed 23 days with inflammation in his right knee trying to get himself ready for the playoffs last season .

He was able to play in just 37 games this season , but has been working to get his knee in good shape.

James Harden says he appreciates Leonard 's work behind the scenes to get back and play.

The teams will have two days off before resuming their series Thursday night in Los Angeles .

Jokic recorded another triple-double ( 26 points, 12 rebounds, 10 assists) but was clearly frustrated by defensive coverages and physicality the Clippers threw at him.

He finished with an uncharacteristic seven turnover and even missed four free throws Monday night .
