After Action Report

In Utah, the Clippers downed the Jazz 117-106. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Clippers cashed in. The Clippers came in with something to prove after a loss; the Clippers pushed the pace until the other side broke. Whispers of a Jazz locker-room rift aren't helping. Clippers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it

  • Jazz · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Jazz · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Clippers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
