Starting 5ive: Greatest NBA comebacks

May 19, 2015
It ain’t over until the final buzzer. Is what the LA Clippers should tell themselves a million times after that Game 6 tragedy in Staples. Here are five of the greatest comebacks in the NBA in recent years:

KINGS DIE HARD

The Bulls were up 35 in the third quarter, nobody was watching, when Tyreke Evans became all John McClane and stole the W. Because it ain’t over until the final buzzer.

 

JAZZ TURN UP

Jeff Hornacek highlights? Yes, please.

 

TMAC LIGHTS UP

Before “TMac Time” became a thing in San Antonio for all the wrong reasons, Tracy McGrady was The Man in Houston. See below.

 

REGGIE MILLER KILLS THE KNICKS

The stuff of Greg Anthony’s nightmares.

 

CLIPPERS COLLAPSE

When Josh Smith starts taking–and hitting–stepback 3s, all bets are off.
