The Los Angeles Clippers know the job is not done as they aim to "make some noise" in a playoff push, so says Kawhi Leonard.

The Clippers moved above .500 for the season with a 153-128 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves.

They sit eighth in the Western Conference, and have become the first team in NBA history to move above .500 for a win rate after falling at least 15 games below that mark in the same season, having started 6-21. They are now 33-32.

Leonard has been key to their revival, and he poured in 45 points on Wednesday.

But he knows there is still plenty of work to do as the Clippers aim to secure a postseason berth.

"We've been fighting with our back against the wall all year," Leonard said.

"These games are prime for us to go out here and compete, knowing our hard work has paid off throughout the season.

"But our job ain't done. We want to get in the playoffs, and try to make some noise.

"When we were struggling, all we did was come in every day. This is the NBA, we all worked to be here.

"We just competed. Now we're one game over .500, but we've still got work to do. We've got to do it again, and again. It's not over."

Leonard has now managed five 40+ point games this season.

"I feel great," the 34-year-old said.

"Praise God, I thank him every day for it. I'm able to play basketball. I had a great offseason, being able to workout – let's keep it going."
