- LOS ANGELES (AP) With a 19-point lead in the second half, the Los Angeles Clippers were cruising toward clinching the franchise's first Western Conference finals berth.
Not so fast.
The Houston Rockets would not be denied.
Corey Brewer scored 15 of his 19 points in the fourth quarter and Houston stunned Los Angeles 119-107 on Thursday night to force a Game 7.
"We kept saying, `We're not going to quit,"' said Dwight Howard, who had 20 points and 21 rebounds. "We kept believing. We never gave up on each other."
James Harden scored 23 points - making all 11 of his free throws - while spending most of the fourth quarter on the bench for the Rockets, who have won two straight after trailing the series 3-1. Josh Smith scored 14 of his 19 points in the fourth.
Trailing 87-68, Houston outscored the Clippers 51-20 over the end of the third and in the fourth to shock the sellout crowd of 19,417 into near silence.
"We took our foot off the gas, stopped defending, a lot of things," said Blake Griffin, who finished with 28 points and missed all five of his shots in the fourth quarter when the Clippers were 4 of 22 from the field.
Game 7 is Sunday in Houston.
"It's about who wants it more," Griffin said.
The Clippers led by 19 points in the third quarter, seemingly assured of finishing off the Rockets in six games after beating the defending NBA champion San Antonio Spurs in seven games in the first round.
Then Rockets started their big run with nine straight points to cut it to 13 heading into the fourth.
"We were trying to run the clock out and we stopped playing," Clippers coach Doc Rivers said. "We gave this one away."
Houston hit seven 3-pointers in the fourth and stymied the Clippers offensively.
"That group just went out there and they just scrambled, they fought and they played their tails off on defense," Rockets coach Kevin McHale said. "They had a great sense about them that they were going to accomplish something."
The Rockets went on a 23-2 run to take a 111-102 lead with 1:44 left. Dazed fans began clearing out.
Chris Paul had 31 points and 11 assists for the Clippers and J.J. Redick added 15 points.
Once again in the series, the third quarter belonged to the Clippers, who outscored the Rockets 28-17 while building that 19-point lead.
The Rockets' frustration boiled over in the third, when Howard was called for a flagrant-1 foul after knocking Griffin to the court on a drive. Harden later got hit with a technical for shoving Griffin.
Griffin ignited the crowd with a fastbreak layup in which he first completed a 360-degree pirouette, extending the lead to 86-68. The franchise's long-suffering fans stood clapping and cheering as the Clippers got defensive stops that turned into baskets on their own end.
Smith hit consecutive 3-pointers, drawing the Rockets to 102-97. With the suddenly nervous crowd chanting, "Let's go, Clippers!" Houston didn't let up.
"We were just riding our momentum," Smith said.
Neither team led by more than nine points in the first half. The Clippers dominated the first quarter, when Howard picked up two early fouls. Harden revived the Rockets by scoring 17 points in the second, including 11 straight against the Clippers' reserves. Once the starters returned, Griffin and Redick combined to score nine straight and put the Clippers ahead 64-62 at halftime.
TIP-INS
Rockets: They dominated the boards 60-41. ... Harden started the game 0 of 5 from the field.
Clippers: DeAndre Jordan made his first four free throws before missing two. ... Former Clippers Corey Maggette (2000-08) and Eric Gordon (2008-11) were on hand, along with Floyd Mayweather Jr., Billy Crystal and "owner emeritus" Shelly Sterling.
REST TIME
After playing every other day, the teams have two days' rest before Game 7.
"I'm almost 30, so I need two days to get my body right," Howard said. "It's going to be a dogfight."
Mchale was an underrated coach . He left all these guys in the game . He didn’t sub harden back in once , let the guys that brought them back into it stay in the game . Very few coaches would do that
That's why he's not a coach, in this league if your stars aren't happy you won't be head coach for long. Remember Kyrie talking about they could all be coach? That's part of why KD left the Warriors, he didn't like that the Warriors front office to bend over backwards for him, even though they did a lot to accommodate him.
@@mygaffer yeah for sure . I just like the fact he wasn’t afraid to stand up to the stars and bench them . Unfortunately it will get you fired like you said
this was literally the night i knew categorically MCHALE should have coached the BOSTON CELTICS period and not doc...idk how/why mchale was never offered the boston job in the first place....but man MCHALES overall GRASP of the game as a player vs doc....and his actual winning pedigree as a player and the coaches that coached him really outshined DOCS bs inflated status. This game will forever punctuate docs career for me....all hes ever done was play politics and piss of his player personal gaslight etc....and run the "im not the bad guy they still gotta play to win" bs narrative hes always been full of shit and a hack from player to coach. By the end of it he has his players/stars so fed up with him they dont even want to play hard/win for him anymore cp3/rondo are 2 examples but just he way hell tinker/shuffle the line up and act like "starters" are on par or as valuable as role players as an attempt to cut down his stars/core just some manipulative bitchmade hackery. This game his constant terribly timed timeouts and platitude filled speeches that play out like an 80s summer camp SHOW DOWN movie....where the down river kids gotta beat the up river kids....and what its going to take to win....is more heart and knowing deep down you deserve it more and want it more is what will take to win...kinda bullshit. Earns him millions and his players know hes undeserving of that job/money/their best effort when its all said and done....its happened to every team/star hes ever coached. Hell the boston fools dont even kick it or talk to each other bc of the fallout he instigated. Boston got blown up he had a falling out with rondo....lob city got blown up in his tenure..and cp3 got tired of playing for him same with blake....Theres playing the game right or running what you got on paper to a T....then theres winning DOCS way bc he thinks his form/insights on the game are better than mj/magics/mchale type players...and he can coach IT.....and by IT i mean bs metrics like leading the league in FTA and FT allowed. I swear hes perfect with this lame adam silver inflated numbers no defense era. Its so weak/sad they have to fabricate fake 5* players to compete with players like derozan/lbj/kd/curry as morant/luka/trae/mitchell rise from the ashes of these inflated players.
So. One good decision. He was terrible in Minnesota too. So youre incorrect
@@softwhiteund3rarm0r Minnesota has shit GM & worst front office
I'll never forget this. Was at a bar in Houston it was quiet and depressing and then it got louder and louder and shit just got out of control. Epic night for us Rockets fans.
No one cares about u
I won't ever forget this either, the fact that they came back from such a huge deficit with bench players out there and the comeback was led by Josh Smith and Corey Brewer with Harden on the bench is just wild. For the Clippers this was the epitome of the lob city era in the playoffs too lol
As a China Rockets fan, that day was simply the best day of my life.❤
Find peace purpose and discipline in Christ and free of your loneliness
CP3 with the clutch shot to cut the lead down to 12 🔥🔥
He knocks down a tough contested fadeaway three after his team missed almost every easy shot in the quarter 😂
Here after the clippers blew another 3-1 lead .
Me too. Kawhi and PG13 are throwing up brick after brick in the second half.
here after doc rivers coached a team that blew a 25+ point lead against the hawks 😂
@@v3rt82 Same! Go Hawks!
@@v3rt82 and he lost lmao
Doc Rivers is such a choker coach.
Kevin McHale did what Doc Rivers is allergic to doing. He made the difficult but appropriate adjustment which was to bench James Harden instead of letting him choke the game away just because he’s the star player
I watch these highlights every year lol, craziest comeback I've seen. Corey Brewer and Josh Smith hitting clutch 3 after clutch 3 lmao
Same. That Clipper team was so good. I still can’t believe they hit the wall here
You know you’re cursed when you get beat by Corey Brewer and josh smith
Lmao u stupid bro but Josh Smith was a fool with the Hawks him Joe Johnson with Al Horford
It was the Cp3 curse couldn't get out the 2nd round
Josh smith been an amazing nba player in his career don't disrespect him
2 of the worst 3 point shooters ever got hot in a crucial game lmao
Jsmoove was a 🐕
Doc Rivers has a fetish for blowing huge leads in the playoffs.
he's just a terrible, massively overrated coach.
@@jan8742 I think he's a solid schemer (leading to lots of regular season wins) but a meh tactician.
hes an epic tactician of blown/wasted timeouts summer camp throwback movie platitude ridden speaches mid timeout as your teams getting jabbed in the face left and right as PROOF of his self awareness .... thus the PROOF of his situational awareness with his moves/adjustments proven in both tapes of blown 3-1 leads. Its contingent with his pedigree as a player contrasted with someone like mchale per example on a pure pedigree/game standpoint. Like once youd imagine him mid time out talking about what needs to be stopped what literally needs to be done on court body to body coverage how to play screens/actions etc....but no....year 1 to this day as a coach "cmon guys, were better than this lets GO...theyre the enemy so theyre worse lets go out there and be good and be better on 3" as guys are looking at each other or rolling their eyes like WTF i got myself into trying my best for a guy like this. How do you respond to those time out calls as he shaves you down to 1 20sec, 1 full by 2 mins expecting to already be in the bonus so he can walk to the line and run some "free time out" by getting his team to the line. With him being the league standard bearer of coaching a playstyle that is an offense that wants to lead the league in FTA...and a defense tha leads the league in FT allowed. Hes onto something with joel and james LMFAO. Cant wait to see teams run pic n roll into embiid into his foul trouble..and how doc manages it. Including crash and burn playoff harden vs playoff rondo per ex. And his desire to coach a FT line "free time out" pace...as he uses His team's personal timeouts to run hallmark card readoffs. I mean yeah pop keeps it simple but its still about ball as basic as...." were getting out hustled get a couple more possessions, respect the ball get better looks and were back in the game...much like kerr in a time out when theyre trying to get back in a game.
nope its actually chris paul who now holds the record for most 2-0 lead blown in playoff series. paul is a choker
I forgot about this game. And looking back at the highlights has put a smile during this quarantine times.
How can anyone forget this game. It's greatest choke of all time. NOTHING comes close. Flippers lost to Josh Smith and Corey Brewer on their home court after leading by 17 in late third!
Kell you would forget about this game. You prolly forget about all the great games.
@@kedrprao 19 actually
This was the craziest come back I have ever watched
I watch this about once a year to relive what it felt to be proud to be a rockets fan
When I feel sad about my Lakers, I watch this.
Especially after yesterday, huh?
@@the_o_man wassup
@@the_o_man How about now?
How about now WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS
@@the_o_man Ayyyyyy
J somoove turned to Chris Smoove with that comeback
This is so underrated.
Splash!!!!
When your my player gets subbed in on the 4th quarter

What makes it stranger is that it wasn't a MyPlayer, it was Josh Smith
Who's here after Clippers blew another 3-1 lead against Nuggets?
I definitely had to reminisce how the slippers keep slipping
As a rockets fan this is my fav video
Biggest collapsed in NBA playoff history twice with a 3-1 series lead, the Clippers would have beaten the Warriors in 2015 & Lakers last year in the Conference Finals.
@@apoloestrada3528 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@apoloestrada3528 Clippers definitely would not have beaten the Warriors in 2015 buddy lol
Anyone came back today knowing that the Clippers blew another 19 point lead in Game 6 2020 WCSF against the Nuggets when they also lead 3-2?
Me Hahahahaha
They blew it tonight
LMAOO
Deja vu
After Smith made that 3 to put them up 111-102, you could literally hear the life sucked out of the building. I feel bad for them Clip fans man.
So true
The crowd reaction was funny as hell
Anyone here after Doc blew multiple 20 point leads back to back???
Doc just needs to do something else, not coach. He just needs to play golf and enjoy his life.
As a rocket fan this brings back good memories
3:09 gotta be one of the loudest groans i've ever heard from a home crowd. the disgust of losing to a josh smith 3 was too much for them.
What the hell was going on with Smith that day? He became a sniper for a day.
Thats me in 2k when playing against my gf lol. I'll pick the worst team and I'll knock down everything lol. I always give her a 20 point head start lol
Someone turned up the sliders on Josh Smith lol
Can’t believe this was over 7 years ago….
Remember being on vacation watching Gm 6 love from my hotel room
Forgot those Kevin mchale days… great high school memories
Notice during that whole run doc had multiple chances to try and stop momentum and call a timeout, but no wait till you're down 6 THEN call it lol. That's exactly why he's fired now
I remember turning this game on around the time it was 89-70 and immediately turning it back off thinking it was over. I later turned on SportsCenter and my jaw dropped.
They were leading 19 points. then came the Chris Paul Second round curse.
Blake Griffin was playing like a bitch!
Nah, it's the Clippers curse
King KOBS It’s Doc’s curse since DJ, BG32 and CP3 gone. With some sprinkles of Pandemic P
ulysses886 It’s the Clippers curse Doc got a ring the Clippers never been to the WCF
@@jaelmore6456 nah Doc blew a 3-1 lead a longgg time ago too
who here after Doc Rivers lost to the hawks? lmao
Me. I watched this when it happened live and it feels just as good years later.
The man needs to retire from coaching and he needs to play golf or smth
@@sugarlv6434 nah bro this ben simmons trash ass fault but doc need to retire
The Nuggets could possibly do this same thing in 2020 O_O
I see the end of Doc @clippers
The Nuggies have done it :)!!!
This is traditional for me to come back and watch
They blew two 3-1 leads, finally in the WCF. So proud for them.
In 2015, the Clippers were up 3-1 and blew a 19 point lead, lost by 12 in game 6, and lost in game 7 completing a blown 3-1 lead. In 2020, the Clippers were up 3-1 and blew a 19 point lead, lost by 13 in game 6, are about to lose in game 7 completing a blown 3-1 lead. History repeats itself my friends.
FYI: I was right #nuggetsin7
at least cp3 wasnt around for both and doc was bc i hate doc and his most free throw attempt offense, and most ft allowed defense. Some of the worst basketball to watch on both ends from a pace/play standpoint those kawhi doc teams.
Insanity. I remember checking in to see who we were gonna face in the Conference Finals and saw the Clippers up 15 in the second half with Harden sitting and assumed the 2014 first round rematch would take place. After this happened we all knew they were done.
This clippers team was hella stacked and the best roster in their franchise history. I think they found their playoff tradition😂
I’m a Pistons fan and I was so happy to see Josh Smith win with a team that actually used him right after he left
3:06 Still one if the craziest daggers in NBA history. It's like Josh Shang Tsunged the entire crowd.
Ahh yes here we are once again, clippers still blowing 3-1 leads in 2020
I can watch this over and over again. Just goes to show that this team can be great without harden doing all the scoring.
+Joe Stallion they got josh smith back today
+TemposStudio he don't got a girl
+TemposStudio K
+TemposStudio L
Wut
It's like the Clippers have never learned, even with the new core.
Blake Griffin with the elite close out defense 😂. J Smoove was letting it fly
3:06 the definition of a dagger. That shit was cold blooded Josh.
I'm here, after this similar thing happened to the Doc's Clipps. (With 2 star players)
I’m glad I witnessed them both live but unfortunately I was rooting for Chris Paul this year so it was painful to see this happen live tome
Goosebumps... Goosebumps everywhere.
well this looks familiar...
I’ll get you banned from RUclips for your use of dots
still watching it in 2020 to see how great this was and still is!
Aye. Who woulda thought they'd lose off Josh Smith knocking down threes
3:50 Chris Paul is the best shooter in all of the NBA when his team is down by impossible odds
😂😂😂😂😂
Shoots 100% fg when the game is gone
2 years later and this shit still gives me goosebumps
That last 3 by Josh Smith sucked the life out of the stadium. Im Not even a Clippers fan but that 3 was so gut wrenching 😅
This game ultimately ended up being the beginning of the end for Lob City Clippers. They never recovered from this series and got knocked out of the first round twice on a row the following years which led to CP3 leaving and Blake getting traded eventually
I'm here cuz doc did it again 😂😂😂😂
And again😂😂
Whose watching this after the clippers chocked against the nuggets!
Meee😂😂😂
Nicely edited video! Love the transitions and audio fluidity.
I was watched this game biggest rockets fan you could meet at the time this game had me all over
Same as Clippers vs Nuggets game 6 yesterday 😂
Had a parlay leg down for over 220.5 on this game. I was watching play by play on my phone and couldn’t fucking believe they got the three. Seeing the dotted lines from the three I thought that was a death sentence. Best hit ever.😂
Y’all don’t understand how monumental this was for both team but really the clippers…
The same way y’all see kd and kyrie… that’s how we saw cp3 and Blake in their prime, and they completely blew it
when i saw the clippers choke in the bubble, and now the 76ers with doc rivers. i couldnt help but think of this game. ill never forget when ariza, dwight, josh smith, correy brewer led this comeback. also the veteran jett jason terry hit some big shots too.
forgot about terrance jones too that lefty.
The 2021 Clippers did what Lob Ciy couldn't.
and Ty Lue did what Doc couldn't 🤷🏾♂️
You don’t deserve to win game 7 after losing like that. You go straight to elimination station. 😂
But they're now facing game 7 and chokes again on game 6 😂😂
You know you're here because of what happened against Nuggets
You know that Clippers Curse is crazy when Josh Smith is hittin crisp 3z...
The Clippers are once again up 3-1 in the second round. Hopefully history doesn't repeat itself.
UPDATE (9/13/20): Well, it looks like history is going to repeat itself if the Clippers lose Game 7 on Tuesday.
Lol this is exactly why I came to this video.
Lol I’m watching this hoping to bring some good luck for the Clippers somehow
Well Denver won game 5 lol
Edwin Joel Guerra
Edit: Fuck.... I’m gonna do a draft Kings and draft all nuggets players
History is finna repeat itself
Past His Prime Josh Smith, Past His Prime Corey Brewer and Past His Prime Jason Terry Let the Clippers Up like Christmas👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿😂😂😂😂😂
Who here after the Nuggets 😂
Me
We here
Yessor denver winning the 2021 chip
who came her after the clippers choked against the nuggets 😭
Currently watching this during all the Harden drama. Always surprises me how Harden got benched and they still managed a comeback.
Same thing happened in the previous round versus the mavs... game 2. It's no coincidence.
Never surprises me to see Harden haters in the comments dicksucking as usual
Anyone here after Smith roasted Doc Rivers?
Me
The 1st Josh smith 3 really set the crowd down you can tell by the atmosphere they knew what was coming
When, of all people, Josh Smith starts hitting one clutch contested three after another one, you know you are done.
Meanwhile Harden was chilling on the bench
Greatest comeback win in NBA history
Tracy McGrady vs San Antonio
Anyone else back here after Denver forces a game 7?
I liked how Mike Tirico called for games.
Who's here after Denver just did the same thing?
Yezzr
I remember watching this in my grandparents house as a kid praying we would comeback and stay alive, legendary memory
Here after the nuggets clippers game😂😂😂
Even though we lost the series, thank you for saving us in Game 3 lol.
Crazy that this is the game that got McHale fired. Moray and the owner never got over him not putting Harden back in the game.
I come back to this to remind me that perseverance and patience is key, for some odd reason, the Clippers are the ones coming back and playing hard night in and night out.
I was on my coach screaming. Hell yeah rockets 🚀
History is finna repeat itself
They made this great comeback with James Harden sitting on the bench that’s crazy
It’s crazy that coming back to this game and series, the Clippers have been to a more recent conference finals than Doc Rivers
"Don't play the score if you are the Clippers"
Jon Barry with the prophetic message
This still breaks my heart man
I had to watch this video after the Sixers' choke last year. Doc Rivers is the NBA's version of Eddie Mush from A Bronx Tale where just it looks like things are going well for his team, you know the bad karma he has eventually comes back to haunt his team.
Who’s here after the Nuggets Game 6 comeback?
Me.
Me too! If the Clippers lose game 7 vs. the Nuggets on Tuesday maybe they ARE cursed!😬
who’s here after the clippers blew another 19 point lead to the denver nuggets in G6?

All Clippers Fans are Hoping this Video does not get a sequel after game 5 vs jazz
The basketball god wants clippers to lose lol
so he makes Jsmoove turned into Michael Jordan
lol he was better than MJ during that stretch
The 2021 Clippers finally did what Lob City couldn't.
And now the Clippers actually made the WCF!
Freshman in highschool when this happen I was all over the living room
Watching this live was like watching a slow execution.
I was there, was glorious to watch in person.
Josh smith: Let me pick up the sliders
The crowd noise @ 3:08 lol
Who here after the clippers blew a 3-1 lead 🤣
They also blew a 3-1 lead to the rockets
Corey brewer and cp3 we’re going at it you can tell 😂
Here after the clippers blew another 3-1 lead (this time to the nuggets)... this has to be one of the strongest curses I’ve ever seen (50 years and counting)
I am a rockets fan and I can’t wait for the Denver Nuggets to complete the 3-1 series deficit and win game 7 😂😂😂
How does it feel to know......... You were right 😂
they did it haha
It’s wild how, despite how good the clippers were during this period, they could never advance past the second round, while the Warriors would go to 5 straight finals!
I came here after cp3's finals loss
