An Alabama High School basketball team had a 19 point halftime lead, eventually lost the game by 30, and that loss comes to a team that had lost 65 straight games.

quote:

Jacob Branch Leads Samson to 67-37 Win over Emmanuel Christian to Snap 65-Game Losing Skid


quote:

Jacob Branch scored 25 of his game-high 30 points in the second half to lead Samson to a come-from-behind 67-37 victory over Emanuel Christian of Dothan.
The victory snapped a 65-game losing streak that dated all the way back to 2020.


quote:

Emmanuel Christian led 21-2 at the half, but Branch caught fire as the Tigers outscored the Warriors in the final two quarters to secure Samson’s first boys’ basketball win since beating McKenzie 73-54 on January 21, 2020.

Sounds like the (losing) head coach said something that pissed his team off at halftime.

28-3 was a choke job type collapse. There are other collapses where you just lose momentum, over confident, other team is actually better but started slow and got hot. An NFL team blowing a 28-3 lead halfway through 3 Q in the SB is unacceptable on every level. And it speaks volumes about the team, city, and especially their fans

A couple weeks ago, the Colts were up 33-0 to the Vikings at the half and up 36-7 with less than 5 minutes left in the 3rd quarter and ended up losing the game

Aggie losing to UCLA a few years ago was pretty bad. Think they were up 35 points

But the one with the least time was UCLA/TAMU with like 4 minutes left in the 4th.

Troy-LSU '08. Troy just kept throwing the ball and stopping the clock.
Bills-Oilers
Not a single game, but the Sox coming back from 3-0 in the 2004 ALCS to make the WS was pretty epic. frick the Yankees.
I remember the Stars going down 5-0 early in a game against the Devils, I think, back in the late 90's. They came back to win 6-5. I'd almost fallen asleep and my dad wanted to change the channel but I persisted

Boston Bruins were up 3-0 in a series against the Flyers. Flyers forced a game 7, and the Bruins were up 3-0 in that game 7 and blew the game and series.
