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.
The game tonight started like many this season, with the Clippers shooting woes digging them into an early deficit. There is just one crucial difference, however, the presence of the Clippers’ best player to suit up this season, Paul George.
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.
