NBA-Crawford three-pointer lifts Clippers to win over Jazz

April 8 (The Sports Xchange) - Jamal Crawford scored 30 points and hit a game-winning 3-pointer with less than a second remaining to lift the short-handed Los Angeles Clippers to a shocking 102-99 overtime victory against the Utah Jazz on Friday.

The Clippers, who've already clinched the No. 4 spot in the playoffs, played without the bulk of their starting lineup as Chris Paul, J.J. Redick, Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan remained in Los Angeles for rest.

Utah, which is trying to secure a playoff appearance for the first time since 2012, couldn't take advantage of the key Clippers' absences thanks to a gutsy performance by the undermanned visitors.
