He's made an NBA-best eight game-winning buzzer-beaters in the past 10 years.
"We definitely gained a lot of things out of these two games", he said. But the Jazz refused to fall out of this game. Derrick Favors, who missed 32 games because of injury this season, was thrust into a starting role and the Clippers repeatedly picked on him in the lob game.
"When we're playing offensively with the right pace, that aggressiveness just kind of comes with the flow of the offense", Griffin said.

Jordan finished with 18 points and 15 rebounds, and Chris Paul added 21 points and 10 assists for the Clippers, who crushed the Jazz in the paint, 60-38. All you'd have to do is go back a couple games and look what they've done to us.
The Jazz didn't call a timeout. "I'm pretty sure they feel the same way". "We just wanted to get it and go and let this man go to work".

Hayward and Johnson scored, keeping the Jazz ahead 94-91. Oddly enough, the Jazz went 17-of-22 from the free throw line while the Clippers went just 5-of-8 on the night.
