Watch: Gasol beats Clippers with late 3, does McGregor strut

No one expected the Memphis Grizzlies to escape L.A. with a victory after blowing a 16-point second-half lead against the league-leading Clippers. Then again, no one expected Marc Gasol - who entered 2016-17 having never made more than three 3-pointers in a season - to become a legitimate stretch-five at 31 years old.

After Gasol's 4-of-5 performance from deep against the Clippers - which included the game-winner - the former Defensive Player of the Year is now 16-of-40 on the season, making him one of 24 players to shoot at least 40 percent from beyond the arc while attempting at least 40 threes.

The only thing better than Gasol's shooting thus far is his Conor McGregor-style dagger dance.
