And for the Washington Wizards' next trick, they will make a 35-point lead disappear.
Facing a significantly shorthanded but nonetheless scrappy Los Angeles Clippers team, the Wizards found a way to make a four-game losing streak even more embarrassing with the second-largest blown lead in recorded NBA history in a 116-115 loss.
At one point, the Wizards led the Clippers 66-31. By halftime, here's the situation the Clippers were facing:
Kawhi Leonard still had not played a game this season
Marcus Morris was out of the game for personal reasons
Reggie Jackson, Ivica Zubac, Nicolas Batum and Serge Ibaka were sidelined for the second half
Eric Bledsoe would also stop playing midway through the third quarter
the whole team was shooting 29.
