Wizards actually won after falling behind by 24. Good fight back by them but the Clippers really shouldn’t be blowing a lead like that
More interesting thing that Spurs this season already had the games where they were allowed teams to score 140+ points. First time against Lakers (142) after overtime and this night was the 2nd time.
The last time they allowed opponents to score 140+ points in 1990-91 season. Seems that Spurs experimenting or just rebuilding their system and strategy in to this new style of basketball nowadays. I cannot believe that they are really that bad on defense.
Dangelo russell is having a breakout year it seems.. finally!

Now look at GS implode without Steph. I bet I’d KD was out instead they’d be winning games
Also here’s some stats from 2016 WCF Games 5-7 where GS came back from 1-3 deficit
Steph 32.6 ppg 7.3 rpg 7.6 apg 47/47/91 shooting splits
KD 32 ppg 7 rpg 3.3 apg 39/27/93 shooting splits
Steph clearly outperformed KD when it counted the most. Idk to me I’d rather have Curry
