BOSTON - The Clippers say All-Star Kawhi Leonard is sitting out their matchup with the Celtics due to back spasms. Leonard was listed in the starting lineup before the game, but never took the floor during warmups. Leonard is the Clippers’ leading scorer, averaging 26.8 points and 6.3 rebounds. Los Angeles is playing in the fourth game of a five-game road trip that ends Thursday at Washington. The Celtics led 35-32 at the end of the first quarter.
