Clipps are a different team. Coming back from a 31 point deficit they are still in it at 117-120 with 5:34 left in the game. They've outscored the Warriors 54-26 in the last 14 minutes
This would be the biggest choke in the playoffs so far if Warriors were to give up a 31 point lead and lose the game
I've always believed that to beat the Warriors you have to out shoot them. Houston showed that for 3 games last year. Now the Clippers did one. Great win!
I read about the Clippers win right here as I gave up when the lead of the Warriors ballooned. Wow! Happy for Doc! He did a 24 point comeback in one Finals game against the Lakers.
Edit:
I just saw the replay of the 2nd half and that was some gutsy comeback, nobody would have thought it was coming. And that Patrick Beverley, he is something, guarding KD???!!! What a heart. The pulse of the Clippers' bench was pulsating and look at Ballmer. What a guy.. Lou Williams is a smooth shooter, so effortless. 32 yrs old. Free agent a couple of years ago, and my son was telling me why didn't Boston pick him up. I said because he's washed out. I was grossly mistaken.
And WHO is this Shamet? C's need rookies like this guy.
Cousins suffers 'significant' left quad injury in Game 2
Warriors' Kerr expects Cousins will be out 'a while'
Possibly a torn quadriceps which takes him out for the rest of the season
Last night's game showed me that in this year's playoffs there is so much parity and so many good teams that anything is possible and never give up until the fat lady sings
Thanks for the link, Steve. That was a great article.
It is hard not to like this Clipper team. It is group of cast offs and first and second year players cobbled together in a couple of trades that didn't seem to make sense when they happened. Good fortune or the genius of Jerry West - who knows? They play hard and they play together.
Honestly at the start of the season I didn't expect much from the Clippers. They have far exceeded my expectations so even If they don't win another playoff game I won't complain.
Patrick Beverly is the guy you love to hate when he isn't on your team - like Matt Barnes and Draymond Green.
