The Los Angeles Clippers set a franchise record with a 35-point comeback on Tuesday night against the Wizards, and Washington was on the receiving end of some meme treatment afterward.
The Clippers scored only 13 points in the second quarter and just 36 points in the first half. They trailed by 30 at the half and were down 66-31 at one point. The Clippers then switched things up for the second half and went to their backups, led by Luke Kennard. The veteran scored 25 off the bench and helped the Clippers win 116-115.
The Wizards not only blew a 35-point lead, but they also led by eight with 36.8 seconds left and still lost!
The Clippers’ comeback was the second-largest in NBA history.
Here were some of the memes and jokes the Wizards received as a result of their collapse:

That's the worst loss for a Wizard since Voldemort blew a 7-0 horcrux lead over Harry Potter.

That’s just an embarrassing loss for the Wizards. There is no way to defend such a collapse.
