LOS ANGELES -- Kawhi Leonard blew by Royce O'Neale and took off down the lane before throwing down an explosive one-handed dunk all over Utah Jazz center Derrick Favors.

Leonard's powerful second-quarter slam put the exclamation point on a first half that saw the LA Clippers lead by as many as 29 points before evening their Western Conference semifinal series with the Jazz at two games apiece with a 118-104 victory at Staples Center on Monday night.

For the second consecutive contest, the Jazz had no answers for Leonard and Paul George.

In the first half, Leonard had 19 points, George scored 15 and Marcus Morris Sr.

In Game 3, Leonard had 34 points, while George added 31.

On Monday, Leonard and George became the fifth duo since the 1976-77 merger with 30 points each in back-to-back playoff games.

"They just were at a different level," said Donovan Mitchell, who led the Jazz with 37 points, five assists and five rebounds.

"You see him being more aggressive, and you know what time it is," George said of Leonard.

"I don't care about the Western Conference finals," Leonard said
