The Los Angeles Clippers managed to beat the Brooklyn Nets 125-114 in a duel marked by an incredible comeback in an extraordinary last few minutes. They went from 114-103 with five minutes to play to 114-125 at the end.
The Angelinos scored the last 22 points of the game thanks to a great offense and a great defense against a Nets that ran out of ideas. Kawhi Leonard, again in MVP mode, was the key man in the final minutes, in which he scored 14 points of the 21 he scored in the entire duel.
James Harden (24 points and 10 assists) and Russell Westbrok, 23 points off the bench, had a great game. 26 points from Mikal Bridges and 20 points from Cam Thomas were useless for the Nets.
The Clippers are in fourth place in the Western Conference with 27 wins and 14 losses. They are 2.5 games behind the leaders Minnesota Timberwolves and one game behind the Thunder and the Nuggets. They are 3 games ahead of the Pelicans (5th).
