Sunday night was shaping up to be a good evening for the Golden State Warriors.
Warriors star point guard Steph Curry went viral before the game for his epic shooting routine. NBA fans were amazed by Curry’s pinpoint accuracy during his pregame shooting workout.
Golden State went on to handle Dallas in a nationally televised game – for three quarters, anyway.
The Warriors blew a 19-point lead to the Mavericks in the fourth quarter, allowing Luka Doncic and Co. to go on a 26-1 run at one point.
The NBA world was shocked.
What. A. Comeback.
The Mavericks were down 93-74 in the fourth quarter to the Warriors.

NBA fans across the globe have taken to social media to weigh in.
Another collapse at home from the Warriors, losing a 21-point lead. Dallas beats them 34-13 in the fourth quarter. Warriors didn’t make a shot from 9:59 until 1:30 of the quarter. Drought of 8.5 minutes. They’re 2-5 in their last seven. Now only 1.5 games up on Memphis.
