Source: Ezra Shaw / Getty Warriors Blow 31-Point Lead To Clippers Last night game 2 of the NBA playoffs featuring the Golden State Warriors and the L.A. Clippers came to a dramatic and historic finish. With 7:31 on the clock in the 3rd quarter, Kevin Durant sank a free throw that gave the Warriors a 31-point lead over the seemingly defeated Clippers. We say seemingly, but the only ones who thought the game was over were the Dubs. .01% win probability in the 3rd?

They outscored the Warriors 72-37 in the final 20 minutes of the game as they were led by South Gwinnett’s finest, Lou Williams. “This is who we've been all season.” @KristenLedlow caught up with @TeamLou23 after the Clippers erased a 31-pt deficit at Oracle Arena. #ClipperNation | #NBAPlayoffs pic.twitter.com/6FfVSIl1Sw — NBA on TNT (@NBAonTNT) April 16, 2019 #NBATwitter was in disbelief and the jokes they were a-plenty. “How y’all blow a 31-point lead to the Clippers at the crib?” Warriors: pic.twitter.com/N4SSxF0jup — Josiah Johnson (@KingJosiah54) April 16, 2019 Those who are hyper-aware and simultaneously uber petty noticed that the 3, 1, lead, and Warriors don’t belong in the same sentence together Another 3-1 lead blown by the Warriors in the playoffs pic.twitter.com/uqz9f1YGRX — Complex Sports (@ComplexSports) April 16, 2019 Warriors blew a 31-Point lead to the 8th seed Clippers pic.twitter.com/jzZdKInsM0 — Hoop Central (@TheHoopCentral) April 16, 2019 *Jay-Z “yikes” face* Flip for more jokes at the Warriors expense.
