The Los Angeles Clippers managed to tie up the series with the Utah Jazz, after falling behind 2-0 for the second consecutive time. With the series tied at 2 apiece, Game 5 is an essential game, as the winner will have the chance to proceed to the Western Conference finals in Game 6. After dealing with a halftime deficit, the Clippers have pulled ahead in the 3rd quarter to take a lead over the Jazz into the final frame. As noted above, the Clippers will be without Kawhi for Game 5 and potentially the remainder of the series. Obviously, that is going to have a massive effect on both ends of the flooring for the Clippers as theyre losing their finest defender and their leading offensive alternative alongside Paul George. Now, George will need to put Los Angeles on his back if the Clippers desire to avoid a 3-2 deficit to Donovan Mitchell, Rudy Gobert and the Jazz.For more on the NBA playoffs, weve got you covered with an thorough appearance at the Clippers-Jazz series, the round-by-round playoff schedule, a breakdown of our professional predictions for both the 2nd round and the entire postseason.
