But, in true Clippers fashion, there was no dissuading them.Īfter chipping away at the deficit all game, the Clippers cut it to just one, in the final four minutes of the game. An otherwise elite defense, this latest losing streak has showcased anything but that. Even after the Clippers took the lid off the basket, they were unable to stop the Jazz from scoring themselves. That trend continued through the rest of the game. The Jazz then quickly responded with an 8-point run of their own. With 3:13 left in the second quarter, a Reggie Jackson turnaround floater cut the deficit to single digits. Being able to step into the game, off a significant injury, and not miss a beat, is testament to George’s relentless and determined work ethic during his rehab. After a more passive first quarter, George finished the game with 34 and five steals in 31 minutes (31!), including a 20 point third quarter, tonight. ‘Aggression’ was the name of the game, for George, tonight. The play of George was undoubtedly the brightest part of this game. After scoring just 14 points in the first quarter, Los Angeles scored 34 in the second. His eight points in the second helped spark a Clippers offense that, without him, has looked stagnant this season. And it seemed that that first quarter was all he needed. George didn’t score his first points until the second quarter, but we can chalk that up to rust after missing the last 43 games. His 19 points this game was joined by Donovan Mitchell’s 33 points and six assists, on 57% shooting from the field. Mike Conley also contributed 12 points in the first half, off 4-for-6 shooting from 3 (including on half-court heave to end the first quarter).
Utah, led by Rudy Gobert, utilized a very active and aggressive defense, which forced tough shots for the Clippers and undeniably contributed to a 32-14 Jazz lead, through the first quarter. There is just one crucial difference, however, the presence of the Clippers’ best player to suit up this season, Paul George. The game tonight started like many this season, with the Clippers shooting woes digging them into an early deficit. In Paul George’s return to the lineup, after a three month hiatus due to a UCL tear, the Clippers come back from a 25 point deficit to snap a five game losing streak and beat the Utah Jazz.
