The LA Clippers couldn’t contain Joe Johnson in Sunday’s loss in Utah. The forward scored 28 points, including 11 straight in the late 4th quarter, leading the Jazz in a comeback. It was similar to his heroics in Game 1 of the series, in which he hit a buzzer beater to seal the victory. How can the Clippers stop “ISO Joe”? Austin Rivers could be the answer.
Rivers has yet to step onto the court during the postseason. He has a left hamstring strain, but is close to coming back. His availability for a pivotal Game 5 is looking positive.
