Our old friend, Landry Shamet, made a name of himself late on Monday night into Tuesday morning.

The former Sixer hit the game-winning three-pointer with 15.9 seconds left in Game 2 in Oracle Arena, as the Clippers upset the Warriors 135-131 in Game 2.
Los Angeles scored 85 second half points to erase a 31-point deficit. It is the biggest comeback in NBA playoff history. The Clippers' 85-point second half is the most points scored in a half against the Warriors during the Steve Kerr era.
Shamet finished the game with 12 points (4-9 shooting, all three's), 4 rebounds, 3 assists, and 2 steals in 32 steals. While his numbers weren't eye-popping, Shamet was making plays all over the court.
Landry Shamet has made play after play tonight. Shamet grinded on defense, hit the go-ahead 3, and tipped out a rebound in the final seconds for the Clippers to gain possession and clinch the upset. What an incredible performance by the rookie.
— Kevin O'Connor (@KevinOConnorNBA) April 16, 2019The Sixers, of course, drafted Shamet with the 26th pick in last year's draft, but were forced to deal him to LA in the Tobias Harris trade. Shamet shot 42.2 percent from three-point range this season, good for 13th in the entire NBA.
Another former Sixer, Lou Williams, dropped a game-high 36 points to go along with 11 assists and ate nachos after the game.
For the first time since 2014, the Warriors seem—at least—beatable.
