The Los Angeles Clippers have one of the best rosters on paper in the NBA this season.
With the Big 3 of Paul George, Kawhi Leonard, and James Harden, the Clippers are viewed as a juggernaut in the Western Conference.
On top of that, they have a terrific fourth star in Russell Westbrook.
The Clippers recently locked horns against the Minnesota Timberwolves in a highly anticipated regular-season game.
Although the Clippers did not have Westbrook on the floor, they were still viewed as being on equal footing with the Timberwolves.
Well, after the final buzzer, the Clippers suffered a 118-100 defeat.
It was a shocking conclusion to the game, as the team led by 22 points at one point.
After the game, Timberwolves head coach Chris Finch sent a strong message about his team’s comeback, via Mark Medina.
“This team believes in each other no matter who we put out on the floor,” Finch said.

It was a special night for the Timberwolves.
