The Golden State Warriors surrendered a 31-point lead Monday in a loss to the Los Angeles Clippers — the largest in NBA playoff history. A few years back, they blew a 3-1 series lead over the Cleveland Cavaliers to lose the 2016 NBA Finals.
And boy, people couldn’t help themselves.
Search “Warriors 3-1” on Twitter and you’ll notice the same type of joke:
Warriors were up by 3-1 points???

I fell asleep and missed the window for making jokes about the Warriors game last night. That’s on me.
