Kevin Durant and Devin Booker combined for 63 points on 24 made shots, helping Chris Paul end the “Scott Foster Curse” with a strong effort.
I personally witnessed this “exchange” up close. Chris Paul gave Kawhi Leonard a pat on the midsection and Leonard slapped Paul’s leg. The bump was accidental. Those two are good. pic.twitter.com/Zsz2ezaZlA

Starting with Leonard’s tenure in San Antonio and Paul’s time with the Clippers and Rockets, Paul has participated in his fair share of challenging matchups against Clippers star Kawhi Leonard.
Therefore, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that the two didn’t exchange pleasantries after the game in the heat of a close playoff series. Paul and Leonard really had a rather chilly exchange as they headed to their separate locker rooms following the game.

Chris Haynes, a TNT insider who attended Game 2, gave his own account of the exchange on Wednesday morning. He claimed to have been “up close” to the interaction between Paul and Leonard and to have seen the bump as “accidental,” not as a deliberate disrespect by either player.
Even if there could be nothing to it, it appears like all amicable contacts will be postponed until the end of the series.
