Looking Forward

J.J. Redick scored even less during the second outing versus the Jazz. However, the outcome was different because of the LA Clippers aggressive nature. J.J. made smart plays and did little things that benefited the team. He may have to keep playing this way as the series moves to Utah. The Clippers will look to at least win one game, in order to steal home court advantage back.

Rudy Gobert is still day-to-day with his bone bruise and hyper-extended knee.  The series changes if the Jazz get Gobert back, but it does not mean the Clippers still cannot win.
