“I thought he had a good rhythm and his teammates kept looking for him and kept going through him,” Clippers coach Tyronn Lue said. “He was able to produce.”

Paul George scored 20 points, while Ivica Zubac added another 18 with 12 rebounds. James Harden notched 12 points.

John Collins led the way for Utah with 19 points and 13 rebounds. Talen Horton-Tucker added 16 points and five assists, as Keyonte George notched 15 points and Walker Kessler had 12 rebounds in his return to the starting lineup.

“I think the team tonight played pretty hard,” Jazz coach Will Hardy said. “On the offensive side of the ball we tried to play together, we tried to execute, and ultimately struggled to make shots. It put us behind the curve.”
