#2 Los Angeles Clippers 99-98 Memphis Grizzlies: 27 Points, 2012

Chris Paul and Mike Conley

The Clippers and Grizzlies battled in one of the most memorable first-round matchups of all time in 2012 and it started off with a bang. The Grizzlies started strong, and stretched the lead to as much as 27, as the Clippers offense stumbled its way to just 40 1st half points. Things didn't look much better in the 3rd and they entered the 4th quarter down 21 points (sounds familiar?).

Then, the Grizzlies just collapsed, both on offense and defense. The Clippers went on a ridiculous 26-1 run, with contributions across the board. Nick Young led the way with 9 in the quarter and Blake Griffin had 8 as the Clippers almost matched their entire 1st half total, with 35 points in the 4th quarter.

Chris Paul sank two late free throws to give the Clippers their 1st lead of the game and they hung on to win it. This was just a sign of things to come in this series, which the Clippers would eventually win in 7 games.
