Clippers Defense helped lead to some good offense

The Utah Jazz only had four turnovers in Game 1. In Game 2, the Clippers made sure to get their hands in passing lanes and deflected passes. Chris Paul came to play with three steals and one blocked shot to help lead the defensive effort.

Luc Mbah A Moute even had a nice block on Hayward when it looked like he was beaten off the dribble.

The Clips only had 10 fast break points in this game, but they were able to get high percentage shots. The Clippers do need to work on running the Jazz off the 3-point line, but tonight’s effort was an improvement.
