“LA Clippers just made the Comeback of the Century!!!”: NBA Twitter in shock as Luke Kennard makes insane 4 point-play to help the Clippers complete historic 35-point comeback against the Wizards
The LA Clippers make the second-biggest comeback in NBA history as they stun the Wizards, 116-115, after trailing 66-36 at halftime.
Many Clipper fans would have turned off the game once they saw the pair of Bradley Beal free throws give the Wizards a 66-31 lead late in the second quarter. However, what proceeded to happen couldn’t have been predicted even by the most optimistic fan.
The Clippers were down 66-36 at halftime and began the final quarter trailing 17 points. In fact, they were also down six with less than 10 seconds remaining until Luke Kennard hit a 30-foot bomb. Furthermore, the Wizards completely choked and gave up possession on a five-second violation.

Wizards absolutely choked, one of the biggest choke jobs ever, but the refs made a few terrible calls down the stretch, including missing intentional foul(s) Beal tried to commit on Winslow leading up to that 4 point play…but clips shouldn’t have been in a position regardless
