Admittedly, I was only able to view the final four minutes of the game, but that short time frame was filled with enough excitement to write up a quick short recap. The Pelicans were up 9 points and extended their lead over the next few minutes to 14. By all accounts, the game was over.
Yet, it wasn't.
After three Clipper three-pointers and a ridiculous offensive foul call on Luke Babbitt, the Clippers had cut their deficit to just 3 points with 49 seconds remaining in the game. After a DeAndre Jordan dunk, but a missed free throw on an And-1 opportunity, New Orleans margin was cut to just one.
