Leonard filled up the stat sheet with 30 points, 11 rebounds, four steals and two blocked shots.
He has scored 30 or more points six times during this postseason. The Clippers lead the series 3-1.
Nikola Jokic had 26 points and 11 boards for the Nuggets. They were down in their first-round series against Utah before becoming the 12th team in NBA history to overcome a 3-1 deficit.
They'll look to do it again against the Clippers, starting with Game 5 on Friday night.
