The LA Clippers were down 66-31 with 1:20 left in the first half. And then in the second half. they pulled off a miracle with the biggest comeback in team’s history.
With 10 seconds remaining, LA was down 115-109. But then, Luke Kennard happened. The 25-year old guard knocked down a deep three-pointer to make it a one-possession game, and in the following possession, he scored the game-tying three-pointer in which he was fouled, which resulted in the game-winning free-throw.
Here are the best Twitter reactions to Kennard’s game-winner and LA’s incredible comeback:
We were up 35 , gave up the lead, and lost to a Luke Kennard buzzer beater. This is why I can’t be coming to the games bruh I recorded the buzzer beater 💀💀💀 pic.twitter.com/EUoa5J6j5b

The most pathetic performance I’ve seen in almost 40 years of being around and covering this basketball team.

Wizards gotta burn that tape of the game bro. It’s appalling to blow a 35 point lead to any NBA team but to lose it to a team without two of its superstars….. pic.twitter.com/2XBJq1DFwN
