The Clippers’ master plan was to acquire two superstars in the offseason, but they needed tradeable assets and financial flexibility to do it. “You have a plan,” Rivers said Wednesday, the one-year anniversary of the trade, before the Clippers’ 128-111 victory over the Miami Heat at Staples Center. The other superstar offseason addition, Kawhi Leonard, scored 14 points with nine assists and seven rebounds and only one turnover. That’s my mind-set — keep shooting.”Eight Clippers scored in double figures and their 35 assists set a season-high. The Clippers are 17-4 when Leonard and George play, and they are the foundation on which the Clippers’ championship hopes rest.
