Throughout the LA Clippers' 21-point season-opener loss versus the Utah Jazz, their lowest moments were in the first half. Not enough effort was put into taking care of the ball, and while everyone thought the team's biggest weakness was transition defense, it was actually their turnovers, which will affect their chances of winning the NBA Finals.
Furthermore, in the first quarter, the Clippers committed nine turnovers. Some were because the Jazz had the edge in length and athleticism, but most were on the LA players themselves, as carelessness and a lack of urgency on the in-bounds were evident.
