Landry Shamet buried a go-ahead three-pointer with 16.5 seconds remaining, capping a historic rally from a 31-point deficit Monday night and delivering the Los Angeles Clippers a shocking, 135-131 victory over the Golden State Warriors in Game 2 of their Western Conference first-round playoff series in Oakland, Calif.
With the series tied at 1-1, the best-of-7 heads south to Los Angeles for Game 3 on Thursday night, with Game 4 also set for the Staples Center on Sunday.
The deficit the Clippers overcame was the largest ever in NBA playoff history, surpassing the Los Angeles Lakers’ rally from a 29-point hole against the Seattle SuperSonics on May 14, 1989.
