The Los Angeles Clippers (32 - 14) defeated the Utah Jazz (16 - 30) 94 - 89 on Wednesday at Energy Solutions Arena in Salt Lake City. While both teams shot very similar percentages from the field, the Clippers took the upper had from behind the three - point line, going 35 percent from deep, while the Jazz went just 21 percent from beyond the arc. Coming out of the third quarter, the Clippers were actually down 72 - 68, but they got hot in the fourth quarter, out - scoring the Jazz 26 - 17 to secure the five - point victory. With J.J. Redick sitting this game out with back spasms, Jamal Crawford jumped into the starting shooting guard position, matching a team - high in points with 21 (5 - 14 FG, 4 - 7 3Pt, 7 - 7 FT), while also adding two steals in 39 minutes. It was his second game in a row passing the 20 - point plateau, as he's combined for 44 points in those two matchups. Chris Paul was the other player to score 21 points (8 - 16 FG, 1 - 6 3Pt, 4 - 5 FT), while he also had five rebounds and six assists. Over his last three games he's averaged 20 points and 9 rebounds, as he's had the hot hand for the Clippers. Coming just shy of a double - double, Blake Griffin had 17 points (7 - 17 FG, 0 - 1 3Pt, 3 - 6 FT) and seven rebounds. He's now averaging 23 points and 8 rebounds on the season. Austin Rivers was the only player to score off the bench, posting 12 points (5 - 8 FG, 2 - 4 3Pt) in 22 minutes. The Jazz saw most of their production from their front court. Enes Kanter had another strong showing, scoring 21 points (8 - 16 FG, 0 - 1 3Pt, 5 - 7 FT) and grabbing 11 rebounds. He's turned it on offensively of late, scoring 20 or more points in four out of his last five games. Derrick Favors nearly recorded a double - double of his own with 18 points (8 - 13 FG, 2 - 4 FT), nine rebounds and two blocked shots. He's been playing good defense around the rim in his last three games, posting at least two blocks in each matchup. Trey Burke continued to come off the bench, with Dante Exum in as the starting point guard. Burke played more minutes though, notching 11 points (4 - 15 FG, 2 - 7 3Pt, 1 - 1 FT) and four rebounds in 30 minutes. Exum struggled to a meager three points, as he shot just 1 - of - 6 from the field and 1 - for - 5 from the three - point line in 26 minutes, so the Jazz will need better guard play if they want to have a better showing in their next game. The Clippers' next game will be on the road against the New Orleans Pelicans on Friday, while the Jazz will be at home against the Golden State Warriors on Friday.
