Monday night’s stunning reverse in a game where the Warriors were so far in front they thought they could cruise over the finish line, sip a cold one and wipe their mouths with the checkered flag, has spawned many things. Yet it's worth remembering at this point that while blowing such a mammoth lead requires some level of culpability from the losing party, it also needs some rare and spectacular things from the team that found itself so far behind.Fortunately for the Clippers, those things – resiliency, fighting spirit and a refusal to accept common basketball thinking – are the personality traits upon which they have quietly built an outstanding season.
“We have got something with this group,” Rivers told USA TODAY Sports. “Only time will tell what they can do. There will come a time when they need to battle for each other and if they do, we will see what happens.” And so here are the Clippers, an eight seed with a pulse, tied at 1-1, getting ready to come back to a city where they still live in the shadow of a failing neighbor to try to make more magic happen.◾️ CLIPPERS WIN pic.twitter.com/ZPpQTX4aXN
