Its use brought up a conversation about the validity of calling the game prematurely (the fans chanted at 3 min, 2 min, and 1 min, approximately). I'd like to know, what is the largest deficit/least time win you've seen pulled off?

During the 1965-66 season (I am not kidding), I saw a team blow a 7 point lead with only 13 seconds left in the game. It was a boys' H.S. freshmen game. After blowing that lead on our own home court we finally won the game in four overtime periods. I was a member of the winning team and I will never forget the practice that we had the next day.
