November 30th: Clippers lose to the Utah Jazz 126-107

Rivers posted 25 points on 9/16 shooting from the field (56.3%), and 3/7 shooting from three (42.9%). He also had a significant total of 6 assists, which is not impressive for a player who has never averaged more than 2.8 for a single season, but rather for someone who has very few other capable scorers to pass to on the team at the moment. Rivers hit all four of his free throws for the game.
