Clippers vs. Jazz Game Day 2026-01-01

What are your thoughts on the game coming up versus the Jazz? What must the Clippers do earn a win? Which Jazz player should LA focus on? Will the game be very high-scoring or defensively-oriented? Are there any injury/player availability updates?

The Clippers pitching a shutout vs the undermanned Jazz- the steal the slam by Kawhi and it's 11-zip

Driving layup by Harden, and the Jazz are forced into another timeout. 16-0 Clips. The defense has been very active once again.

John Collins has been super active getting deflections and rebounds. Clips not shooting super well from the outside but still up 22-7.

Harden very sharp thus far with that little J

That's gotta feel good- DJJ splashes the wide open bingo

Kyle Anderson and Clipper turnovers are keeping the Jazz afloat. Clips 31-16 after 1.

Ouch- that's the second missed dunk by Nidenhauser. Perhaps he needs to make it less showy and just make sure the FG is converted.

Clippers sputtering now. Kawhi misses BOTH FT's and the Jazz run the other way for the and 1. They've cut it to 5.

The Klaw bounces right back with a cutting dunk, now the bingo!

Lopez's 3's tonight have all been short. But Brook is still clogging the paint nicely.

Clayton a ridiculous flop there and the refs fell for it

WOW. Lopez is now 0-8 from deep. Clippers just 3 of 21 as a team after that Dunn miss. They're all good shots though so just gotta keep shooting them.

Niedenhauser says get that sh*t outta here on Flipowski's weak attempt.

Thank goodness for the French Knight who drains another bingo to keep the Jazz at bay, for now.

Poor 2nd Q by the Clippers on both ends, and their 21 point advantage is now jut 3 at the half.

Now an airball 3 by Lopez but thankfully Collins catches it like a pass and banks it in

YES! Lopez, bingo!

Jazz are going to take the lead after they call Kawhi for the close out foul. Plus it's been upgraded to a flagrant. Ouch.

Harden rattles in a 3, but Sensabaugh continues to hurt the Clippers, this time with a yo yo layup now another UGH

Niedenhauser has been very active, big putback of Harden's miss to end the 3rd. Clips 81-80.

Niederhauser stops Filipkowski again, though the refs call a foul. They are having words again- the refs might have to call some techs otherwise this could devolve later.

Clips are challenging- that foul should be overturned.

Batum, that's big time, but Cody Williams hits another 3 for them. Dude has hit only a few 3's this year until this game.

WTH getting raked in your face is incidental contact?

That is a confident 3 by Sanders- bingo! Now the Klaw follows suit!

Too many layups- just hack them my goodness. But Kawhi is heating up now, drills another bingo. Clips 99-94.

The hustle tips by Niederhauser & then Batum, DJJ the bingo!

Leonard, again from deep, timeout Jazz! Clips with some breathing room now 105-94.

What a job by the Klaw to seal the game- a myriad of shots, 3's and layups. He has *45* now. Time to empty the bench.

Final score Clippers 118-101 with a tremendous 4th by Sanders, Batum, DJJ, Niederhauser & especially Kawhi. Harden didn't even play in the 4th. Measuring stick game coming up vs the Celtics. Let's see if the guys can keep mowing them down. That's 5 W's in row now.

Another monster game from KL. So small sample but probably this is what the FO envisioned when they traded for him.

With proper coaching, YNH could become a star player soon and same goes for Kobe Sanders.

David, this is 6th W in a row…someone is proofreading your postings…lol.

Game highlights:

When Collins, Lopez, and Dunn make threes, we're tough to beat.

Due to the attention on Kawhi and James, those guys are ALWAYS open...

Have to knock em down.

The hustle from Sanders, Nico, DJJ, and Yanic was great... kinda saved us.

....and of course, Kawhi went crazy in the 4th Quarter.

We played down to their level, but we stepped up when it was necessary.

Win's a win!

Oops lol! That’s even better!!

100%! That was quite the struggle but nobody was forcing 3’s, and they finally fell. Nico was big as the only guy hitting them consistently until the 4th. That unit did a great job preventing second chance points and got a lot of offensive rebounds themselves. Really nice to see the steady development of Sanders and the emergence of Niederhauser who reminded a bit of young DeAndre Jordan, but with better touch inside.

What a night for the Klaw. That was the best game I've seen him play in person. I had a feeling that after the 18-0 start, the Jazz would come back. Basically playing with an entire starting lineup of bench players, the Clippers would eventually let the guard down but would close it out at some point
