Joe Johnson's Buzzer Beater lifts Utah over struggling Clippers

Adjust Comment Print

He missed the final six games of the regular season with a strained left hamstring and is out for at least the first two games of the first-round series.

That aggressiveness included blitzing Blake Griffin in the post after the Clippers forward abused the Jazz in the first half. "That happens. You get so locked into your individual matchup that you start playing individual "D" where you're supposed to be in a help position".

"I think we should feel that we can win without Rudy", Snyder said. Doc Rivers called an excellent out-of-bounds play in which Chris Paul received a dribble handoff that was followed by a pick and roll with DeAndre Jordan, who helped free Paul for the tying layup with 13 seconds left on the clock. Johnson and Favors also led the bench, with a combined total of 36 points.

The team says he will continue to be re-evaluated.

A number of agreements are expected to be signed following Monday's bilateral summit. Earlier on Monday, Turnbull was accorded a ceremonial welcome at Rashtrapati Bhavan.

"We just watched some film, obviously went through some stuff", Ingles said. "I just wanted to get as close as I could to the basket, and it was a good thing it went down". Utah Jazz center Boris Diaw, center, of France, passes the ball as Los Angeles Clippers forward Blake Griffin, left, and guard Raymond Felton defend during the first half in Game 1 of an NBA basketball first-round playoff se. Against a stout Utah defense, that could be a useful skill should points become hard to come by. The Jazz turned to a smaller lineup with Derrick Favors and Joe Johnson getting the brunt of the minutes, a strategy that worked out surprisingly well as the Clippers' perimeter threats of J.J. Redick and Jamal Crawford struggled down the stretch.

Chris Paul did everything he could to bring his team to within striking distance of the Jazz. While from the Jazz's perspective it is a huge confidence boost and gives them a risky amount of momentum going into game two, especially if Gobert is back for the game.

Saturday morning marked the first time Austin Rivers was able to shoot, and with two full days between games, and he did other on-court drills such as running light springs and dribbling. You try to win the next one. "We have to play better than we did as far as in our execution, in our defensive execution and our offensive pace".

Is that the best 10 million dollars we've ever spent or what?
