Kawhi's block was on James Harden during the final moments of a regular season meeting between the Spurs and the Rockets in San Antonio back in March. The Spurs won the game thanks to a sensational sequence in which Kawhi hit a huge three and blocked Harden's layup on the other end. It's worth watching again:
