Kawhi Leonard leads the way as San Antonio Spurs remain unbeaten at home

Kawhi Leonard scored 22 points Monday night and the San Antonio Spurs never trailed in a 118-81 victory over the Utah Jazz at San Antonio.

The Spurs are 21-5 overall, the second-best start in franchise history, and 13-0 at home.

“The sky kind of fell, but it happens,” said Jazz coach Quin Snyder, whose team trailed by as many as 46 points. “We had no juice, but that’s the wrong team to play when you’re out of gas. Their defense is terrific and they are a championship-level program.”

LaMarcus Aldridge and Tony Parker added 18 points each for the Spurs.

“I’ll take blowouts, especially early in the season,” Parker said. “The starters, we can rest. It’s always great because it adds up. All the rest that we’re getting right now will help come playoff time.”
