June 12th, 2021 was highlighted by the Clippers getting a must-win in Game 3 against the Jazz to avoid going down 3-0 in the NBA Semifinals as Kawhi Leonard and Paul George both dropped 30+ points with LA’s star duo combining for 65 points in the 132-106 blowout win at home. Philadelphia Phillies have miraculously won three straight games via a walk-off despite DJ LeMahieu’s game-tying 3-run HR in the 9th and Vlad Guerrero Jr. joined an exclusive club by becoming the first player to reach 20 HRs at such a young age.
