Playing on the road for the fourth time in seven days as part of an eight-game trip, it would have been easy for the Clippers to pack it in and start thinking about their next plane ride after a pair of Bradley Beal free throws gave the Wizards a 66-31 lead late in the second quarter on Tuesday night. Instead, Los Angeles kept chipping away en route to one of the most improbable wins in NBA history.
The Clippers erased a 35-point deficit to upend Washington in a 116-115 win, marking the second-biggest comeback in league history. Los Angeles did not hold a lead until the final second of the game, when Luke Kennard sunk a free throw to complete a four-point play and stun the Wizards's home crowd.
