The Clippers were as good of a situational play as you were ever going to see in the gambling world. Not only were they an 8-point underdog and +320 on the moneyline... statistically... they had a 95% chance of winning the game. It's too late now... but remember this statistic next time a pplayoff goes to a game-7 after one team was leading the series by a 3-1 margin.

Usually... the team going into a game-7 after being down 3-1 is a favorite... but you should salivate if they are a dog.
