The Utah Jazz faced the Los Angeles Clippers on the second night of a back-to-back and had an extensive list of players missing the game. It was a smart decision, too, because Utah kept this one very close until the Clipper pulled away late in the fourth and won 130-110. It’s a vital step towards Utah’s goal of championship contention. Utah is in a neck-and-neck race for positioning come lottery night and solidifying these losses is vital to the long-term plan for Utah.
Probably the most impressive player in this one for Utah was Jordan Clarkson, who shot 6/12 from three.
