Norman Powell, Kawhi Leonard and Paul George helped the Clippers claw back into the game only for the Utah Jazz to escape with a 120-118 win.
Had you turned on the second game of this Clippers season in its fourth quarter Friday, you would have seen a team finding innumerable ways to win. Trailing Utah by 10 with 10 minutes to play, the Clippers found a foothold and began climbing uphill. A 17-4 run grabbed their first lead.
Utah collected 17 offensive rebounds — 11 more than the Clippers — and scored 33 second-chance points. Utah made difficult shots but their movement on offense was hard for the Clippers, with their aim of a top-five defense, to contain. “I thought early on it was hard to get stops,” coach Tyronn Lue said. George willed the second-half rally. Of the Clippers’ 29 points in the third quarter, he scored 15.
