After Action Report
In Utah, the Clippers squeaked past the Jazz 98-97. The Jazz couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Clippers. The Clippers ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; the Jazz are in a full-on tailspin. The Clippers bench chemistry carried them. The Clippers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
