Wizards 115, Clippers 109. 10.9 seconds left of regulation.
There didn’t seem to be much genuine hope lying behind play-by-play announcer Brian Sieman’s words: “Is there a miracle left in Washington for the Clippers?”
The short answer: there, somehow, was.
Piloted by a sharp-shooting Luke Kennard, the Clippers voyaged on an 11-2 run in the last 34 seconds to seal their 35-point comeback — only the second time in 20 seasons that a team came out on top after trailing by more than seven points with under 20 seconds left to play.
Whether you saw it live in Capital One Arena, through a radio broadcast, or, in my case, behind my laptop screen while I took notes on antiderivatives during my math class, this game is one to remember, to say the least.
