The Los Angeles Clippers ( 18 - 13 ) defeated the Utah Jazz ( 12 - 16 ) 109 - 104 on Saturday . The Clippers came into Saturday 's matchup as part of the second game of a back - to - back , and utilized the 3 - point shot to make up for defensive breakdowns early in the game . Los Angeles was without Blake Griffin ( quad ) , who is amongst the league 's best with 23 points per game and 9 rebounds per game , but that did not stop Chris Paul and DeAndre Jordan from running the pick and roll at an efficient rate . Add that to J.J. Reddick and Paul Pierce 's sharp shooting from deep and the equation resulted in a second straight win . Reddick led all Clippers ' with 25 points on 5 - of - 7 3 - point shooting , including a streak of three straight deep balls on consecutive possessions in the second half . Paul Pierce was equally impressive , finishing with 20 points on 5 - of - 7 behind the arc . Pure point guard Chris Paul added 19 points and 11 assists , while DeAndre Jordan completed another double - double , with 14 points and 13 rebounds . The first half defensive inefficiencies need to be addressed by the Clippers , but the team shot 50 percent from deep as a unit , which made up for the slow , turnover ridden start . Los Angeles will continue their road trip and face the Washington Wizards ( 14 - 14 ) on Monday . Utah stormed out to a strong 1st quarter , but were unable to capitalize on the momentum going forward . Gordon Hayward led all scorers with 28 points , to go along with six rebounds and five assists on 7 - of - 13 shooting . The backcourt duo of Alec Burks and Trey Burke , who currently combine for the best scoring bench duo in the league , thrived in the first half before going cold later in the latter quarters . Burks finished with 11 points on a perfect 5 - of - 5 shooting in 18 minutes , while Michigan product Burke , added five points in the same amount of time . Rudy Gobert ( knee ) continues to miss games with a knee injury , and the absence of their shot blocking big man has caused the Jazz to run a small lineup . The lack of size and rim protection allowed DeAndre Jordan to take advantage for the inopportune , easy basket . Utah 's biggest strength in the first period was their pace , but as that died out in the second half , so did the team as a whole . Utah will look to bounce back when they host the Philadelphia 76ers ( 2 - 30 ) on Monday .
