The Los Angeles Lakers (15 - 41) beat the Utah Jazz (21 - 35) 100 - 97 on Wednesday. The Lakers rattled off a 31 - 19 fourth quarter after finding themselves down nine at the end of the third. Jordan Clarkson led the scoring attack, starting at point guard and putting up 22 points in 34 minutes, as he filled in for Ronnie Price, who had surgery earlier Wednesday to remove bone spurs and chips in his right elbow. Wayne Ellington dropped a 15 - point, 10 - rebound double - double on the Jazz. He and Clarkson were the only Lakers to play more than 30 minutes, yet none of the eight players that saw the floor logged less than 20 minutes. Los Angeles has now won two straight after going 0 - 7 to start the month of February. Utah had won four of their last five games until coughing up a close one to the Lakers. Gordon Hayward nearly banked in a miraculous three - pointer at the buzzer that would've sent the game into overtime. While he finished with 20 points, he also had six turnovers. Rudy Gobert turned in another nice performance with 16 points, 14 rebounds and three blocks. Off the bench, Elijah Millsap led all reserves with 17 points to go along with seven rebounds in 30 minutes. The Jazz will head to Denver to face the Nuggets on Friday, as the Lakers travel home to host the Milwaukee Bucks on Friday.
