As is likely to often be the case this season, a healthy and reinvigorated Blake Griffin led the way for the Clippers, despite the Jazz's suffocating defense. His line of 18 points, 10 rebounds, an assist and a steal paced the team, with only reserves Austin Rivers and Jamal Crawford joining him with double digits in the scoring column. Chris Paul's nine assists and four steals were pivotal non - scoring contributions, as well, helping the Clippers to prevail despite 41 and 22 percent success rates from the field and three - point range, respectively. With George Hill and Dante Exum the only two players to tally double - digit scoring, the Jazz struggled offensively throughout the afternoon. Rodney Hood and Joe Johnson, dependable sources of scoring in the early going, mustered a combined 12 points on just 5 - for - 19 shooting.
