Kings annd Clippers engaged in a breathtaking duel that ended as the second-highest scoring game in NBA history, with Sacramento repeatedly coming from behind before outlasting the Clippers 176-175 in two overtimes.
Not only was the sellout crowd of 19,068 at Crypto.com Arena in awe at the end, but several members of the Clippers said they had never seen anything like the game they just played in.
“It’s crazy,” said Westbrook, who started and had 17 points, 14 assists and seven turnovers in 39 minutes before fouling out with 1:49 remaining in the second overtime. “I don’t know if I’ve ever been a part of a game with that many points. Fresh off the All-Star break, I guess.”
It was a game that featured back-and-forth scoring like an All-Star game but one that was intensely competitive.
