ONE: Seven times the Clippers have had a chance to clinch a berth in the Western Conference finals, and seven times they’ve come up empty, including Sunday’s Game 6, blowing a 19-point lead to the Denver Nuggets to force Game 7 on Tuesday.
The Clippers, who had a 3-1 lead in the series, lost 111-98 to even the series at three apiece. And they will face a Nuggets team that just won’t go away. The Nuggets already came back from a 3-1 deficit in the first round, rallying to win three straight to beat the Utah Jazz.
Man, oh man.

THREE: It wasn’t easy, but the Chargers were able to leave Cincinnati with a victory after the Bengals missed a game-tying chip shot field goal in the final seconds that would have sent the game to overtime, allowing the Chargers to escape with a 16-13 victory, and a great start for quarterback Tyrod Taylor

FOUR: It hasn’t been the best season for the Angels, but it was a great day on Sunday to celebrate Albert Pujols, who equalled Willie Mays on the all-time home run list with his 660th homer in a 5-3 Angels victory over Colorado.
