LA Clippers Comeback from 31-Point Deficit to Win 135-131
Don’t go to bed early, or count your wager as a winner before the game is over. Another lesson learned by bettors who thought their Golden State (-13.5) bet or (gasp) money line bet on the Warriors (-1300) was an easy winner when leading by 31 points in the 3rd quarter.
The NBA is full of more momentum swings and scoring surges than any other sport. The LA Clippers 135-131 win Monday night tied the series at 1-1 against top-seeded ...

That was the closest call in the Round of 32.
That leaves all four No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3 seeds plus two No. 4 and one No. 5 seed in the Sweet 16. No. 12 Oregon is the only surprise among those ...
