Paul George and the Los Angeles Clippers proved that the game is never over until the final buzzer, completing a 26-point comeback to defeat the Clevland Cavaliers 120-118.
With 6:35 remaining in the third quarter, Cleveland led L.A. 94-68 in what seemed like a clear win for the Cavaliers. However, Clippers guard Paul George took matters into his own hands, scoring 23 of his 39 points in the fourth quarter to knock off Cleveland 120-118. George also recorded 11 rebounds and seven assists to help capture the Clipper's sixth victory in seven games.
George took the lead with seven seconds remaining in the game after shaking off Cavs’ center Evan Mobley with a series of crossovers and sidestepping to knock down a two-point basket from the elbow.
