Jump. Yell. Scream.

Los Angles Clipper Chris Paul utterly lost it trying to get his teammate, DeAndre Jordan to shoot the ball as the fourth quarter ended in their game against the Portland Trailblazers on Wednesday night.


Total. Freakout. (Source: YouTube)

With seconds left, Paul took -- and missed -- a shot. Jordan, although he snagged the rebound with 0.7 seconds left, thought time had run out and rather than going for the putback, just stood there, holding onto the ball. What could've been a game-winning shot -- as both teams were tied 87 -- instead went to overtime.

Painfully, the Clippers went on to lose, 93-98.
