Seemed like they were just hitting 3's left and right, and we kept turning the ball over and forcing bad shots. Then I heard the announcers start saying stuff like, now it's a 20 point game, now it's a 15 point game, etc... But when Curry hit that 3 at the end when the game was tied, I thought that was it.

But the final plays of the game, wow, that was incredible... Staying up so late to finish the game, and getting about 5 hours of sleep... so worth it....

One thing that I thought was nice, it was late in the game and there was a breakdown in our defense, and we gave up a wide open 3. You could see the guys look frustrated, but I saw Temple from the bench telling the guys it's okay and reassuring them... seemingly insignificant, but I thought that was great team support.

I thought if we can win one game, I'd call these playoffs a success... but to win in this fashion...

Wow, Temple has got to be overflowing with emotions right now. Maybe this will give him a little extra motivation when he plays.

The secret to Clippers' historic comeback vs. Warriors has been hiding in plain sight

Williams learned the best way to dig out of a big deficit is to focus on each small play, one after the other.

“I just got lost in the game,” Williams said. “When you’re down like that you just have the luxury of playing free and that’s what I did.”


Eight days earlier, Shamet called Oracle Arena a favorite because of its raucous atmosphere. He enjoyed it even more when it was silent. Such a sound has followed the Clippers all season, the soundtrack to a comeback.

“To hear [fans] panic a little bit, that’s what was fun,” Shamet said. “You can hear the energy changing, the tide shifting a little bit.”


“The wheels fell off,” Curry said. “I know we can get it back.”

That leaves the Clippers as underdogs, again. They wouldn’t have it any other way.

“Everybody here been counted out somewhere down their career and we believe,” Beverley said. “We really believe we can go toe to toe with anybody and this just proves it. We want it, we want it bad — to prove people wrong.”

2 days later and I'm still re-watching the highlights. Just like the miracle in Memphis, when I was obssessed for weeks after. :lol:

Also, I'm not sure why this particular video is missing from MaxaMillion711's YouTube library, so I decided to uploaded the copy I downloaded. The sequence of 3 consecutive CP3-to-Griffin alley-oops against Mark Jackson's Warriors was the epitome of the Lob City era.
