See the Warriors' comeback win over the Blazers in four wild final plays
The Golden State Warriors came back from down 18 to pull out a 113-112 road win over the Portland Trail Blazers, and the final minute was about as exciting as NBA action gets.
With the Warriors leading by three and just under a minute to go, Blazers point guard Damian Lillard blew past every Warriors defender for a huge dunk:
The Warriors turned the ball over on their next possession, resulting in a Blazers fast break and another Lillard drive to the basket. He missed the layup this time, but drew a foul and made both free throws to put Portland up, 111-110.
Golden State took a 113-111 lead with 11 seconds left, using some gorgeous ball movement to get Klay Thompson wide open from three-point range.
On the Blazers' final possession, Nicolas Batum drew a foul driving to the basket. He made the first free throw but missed the second, and his desperation heave as time expired was...not the best.
And just like that, the Warriors went from looking at a blowout loss to a massive road win over a playoff rival. The Blazers hold just a one-and-a-half-game lead over the Warriors for the fifth seed in the Western Conference.
This game could be crucial in a month or so.
