The Clippers were behind for 47 minutes against the Warriors, but a Paul George three with 8.9 seconds left gave them the win and NBA fans are losing their minds.
The Warriors blew a 22-point lead and looked as though they might run away it in the first half after Draymond Green (of all people) shot four threes in the first quarter alone.
George finished the game with 25 PTS, 6 REB, 6 AST and shot 4-8 3 pointers.

James Harden also put in a strong performance and lead the Clippers’ comeback in the third quarter.
He put up 21 PTS on 50 percent FG and 65 percent TS, as well as 9 AST to just 1 TO.
NBA fans couldn’t believe the wild ending to the game.

The Warriors smoked their 2nd double digit lead this week and I’m supposed to believe in them? I say the writing is on the damn wall! And shout out to the Clippers on a big W.. it might be their turning point! Carry the hell on…

The loss marks the Warriors blowing another big lead for the second time this week, just like they did against the Kings during the In-Season Tournament on Thursday.
Another game which they lost by only one point after leading by 20+.
Although it is early in the season, this habit the Warriors find themselves in isn’t a good place to be.
Especially for a team that is looking to compete with the best in the competition and have their sights set on another championship.
Golden State are now 9-11, while the Clippers are 9-10.
