The Clippers hosted the Jazz at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, California on Friday, April 5.
With 7:44 left to play in the third quarter, Yurtseven set a screen for George. The Jazz rookie used Yurtseven’s move to free up the big man to roll toward the basket. George passed the ball off to a driving Yurtseven, who pulled up and knocked down an eight-foot jumper. The Georgetown product’s shot trimmed Los Angeles’ lead to 85-55.
