Trailing by 35 shortly before the half, point guard Reggie Jackson joked that the LA Clippers were "right where we want to be" against the Washington Wizards.
Still, the Clippers could hardly believe what they had done when the buzzer sounded, since no one had seen a team do what they did since 1996. Despite playing without the injured Kawhi Leonard and Paul George, the Clippers produced the second-largest NBA comeback in the play-by-play era (since 1996-97) and stunned the Wizards 116-115 at Capital One Arena.
The Clippers trailed 66-31 with 1 minute, 20 seconds left in the first half.
