Paul George warned that the Los Angeles Clippers never know when they are beaten after their unanswered points streak in Sunday's win over the Brooklyn Nets.
Having gone into the fourth quarter trailing by 15 points, the Clippers reeled off a 22-0 run to close out the game and triumph 125-114.
It brought up their 10th win in the space of 12 games in stunning fashion.
Kawhi Leonard led the epic comeback, scoring 14 of his 21 points during the Clippers' 22-0 run over the game's final 5:17, with Los Angeles improving from 44.7 per cent shooting across the first three quarters to 75 per cent in the final period.
"That was first of a kind, with a slow start and then get red-hot at the end," said George, who finished with 12 points.
"We're going to always compete to the very end. The great thing about this group is we don't ever believe that we're down and out of it."
After scoring 24 points and adding 10 assists against his former team, James Harden said: "They came out and punched us in the mouth and in that fourth quarter we played Clipper basketball, got some stops and the rest is history.
"It was like a party. The energy was 100. That right there is home-court advantage."
Mikal Bridges led Brooklyn with 26 points but scored just six after half-time, and he offered few excuses for the Nets' capitulation.
"Just got to be better for the whole 48," Bridges said. "Definitely not fun.
"We were stuck, didn't know what to do or how to break it."
The Clippers are fourth in the Western Conference with a 27-14 record, with a clash against their city rivals the Los Angeles Lakers next up.
