VIDEO: Warriors erase Clippers' lead with 8 threes in 4th quarter
The Los Angeles Clippers thought they were in the clear once they had the reigning champions down 23 points in the first half.
Instead, the Golden State Warriors completed the biggest comeback of the season thanks in large part to a 39-point fourth quarter in which they drained 8-of-9 attempts from deep.

A few things to note from the clip:
First, the Clippers' defense against Harrison Barnes and Andre Iguodala's threes was abysmal. The 37-year-old vet Paul Pierce just couldn't keep up with Barnes and Iguodala was inexplicably left wide open on two occasions.
Second, the Splash Brothers are ridiculous. Klay Thompson hit the go-ahead triple while drifting to his left, and Stephen Curry's three treys were all perfectly defended.
Third, no lead is safe against Golden State.
Since start of last season, Warriors are 3-3 in games in which they trail by 20 at any point.
Rest of the NBA is a combined 13-486
