After taking care of business in less than reassuring fashion against sub-.500 teams and struggling to compete against elite squads on the road, the Utah Jazz were in dire need of a statement victory. Fortunately, they got just that by earning an impressive win over the LA Clippers on the road on Saturday.
In a game that both Kawhi Leonard and Paul George suited up for whereas Mike Conley remained out for Utah, the Jazz came up huge in the fourth quarter and pulled away to win 120-107. The game saw the Jazz trail by as many as 13, but it also saw them take command in the second half with Donovan Mitchell performing as the best player on the floor for the night.
