Not every day, not every year, and not even every decade, the NBA team comes back from a 35-point deficit and wins a game, but tonight (Tuesday-Wednesday), Danny Abdia was part of the negative side of history when the Washington Wizards disbanded after taking a huge lead and absorbing 116: 115 To the Los Angeles Clippers, who enjoyed seven points from Luke Kenard in the final nine seconds, including a three-pointer and a two-second foul to finish that equalized and completed the turnaround.

Complete the historic comeback.

The Clippers' comeback is the second largest in NBA history, ahead of only the Utah Jazz, who in 1996 erased a 36-point advantage over the Denver Nuggets. In the absence of team stars Kwai Leonard and Paul George, the Clippers have become the kings of NBA comebacks. It is the only team in the last 25 seasons to return three times a season from a 24-point deficit to victory, and it did so within two weeks - with the previous victims being Denver and Philadelphia.

The Bleach Report was amazed at Washington's "historic suffocation," and ESPN wondered that "if the Clippers are the kings of the league's comebacks, who are the Wizards?", They replied, "Even Bradley Bill does not know." The capital is struggling to accept the loss, and the star of the team has raised some critical question marks about where the club is headed: "Honestly, what are we trying to achieve? What kind of team do we want to be? A winning team or not? That's the question for all of us. 29 The difference was terrible,It's 10 times worse. "

The Wizards do not digest.

The Wizards, who started the season with a 3:10 balance and stood at the top of the Eastern table, have already dropped to tenth place, and this is the first time this season that they are two losses below a 50% success balance.

Coach Wes Ansald Jr. tried to explain: "We thought the win was in our pocket, and we stopped playing the way we got a 35-point lead."

Alongside Bill, another actor who expressed himself after the humiliating night is Kyle Kozma who said: "This is one of the situations you just have to laugh, there is nothing more to do. We are still trying to understand each other's roles. You would expect us as a collective to understand the roles, but we do not. "They can lose to a team that is trying to lose, they took all five players off the field. Something needs to change, it will already be funny."

Veteran and esteemed journalist David Aldridge claimed that "this is the most pathetic show in almost 40 years in which I have been around this group and covering it," while Michael Lee of the Washington Post tried to look at the big picture looking ahead: "I do not know what their plans are in the long run. The long, but 22-13 balance in the last few games and the two humiliating losses should make them rethink everything.

About two weeks before the end of the NBA trade window, pressure is mounting on Washington to make a change.
