After Action Report
The Clippers survived the Jazz 101-97. The Jazz couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Clippers. Clippers' old heads steadied the ship in the swings; Jazz's old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Whispers of a Jazz locker-room rift aren't helping. The Clippers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Jazz · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
