The Los Angeles Clippers truly couldn't have started the 2025-26 regular season any worse than they did on Wednesday night in Utah. The Jazz, the team that won only 17 games last season (the lowest in the league), blew out the Clippers, 129-108. A young Utah team ran an old LA team off the floor — literally.
Los Angeles never held the lead. Utah came out hot, dropping 43 points in the first quarter alone on 16-of-20 shooting. The Clippers shot 8-of-19 in the first quarter for 19 points (they committed nine turnovers during that span).
