NBA fans staggered as Washington Wizards produce 'worst collapse in sporting history'
NBA fans have been left staggered after the Washington Wizards produced one of the 'worst collapses in sporting history' on Wednesday evening.In a home match at the Capital One Arena, the Wizards had opened up a commanding 30-point lead over the Los Angeles Clippers by half-time, only to utterly capitulate in the remaining two periods and lose the contest. Trailing 1115-109 in the dying embers, the Clippers recorded two three-pointers in less than 10 seconds as Luke Kennard delivered both baskets from behind the arc with just 1.9 left on the clock.Now tied, the Wizards suffered a sucker blow when it was deemed shooting guard Bradley Beal had fouled Kennard in the build-up, giving the Clippers the chance to win the game from a free throw.It was an opportunity Kennard didn't squander, sinking from 15 feet to seal an incredible 116-115 win for the Los Angeles Clippers.And while the Clippers celebrated their biggest comeback in franchise history, the Washington Wizards were left pondering how they managed to become the second team in NBA history to lose after leading by 30+ points at half-time.The Wizards' capitulation sent shockwaves around the globe with fans taking to social media to express their disbelief.Can you think of any greater sporting collapses? Let us know in the comments section."I seriously don’t know why I am a fan of this team," said one Wizards supporter.
