LOS ANGELES- The Utah Jazz played their second game in as many days, taking on the LA Clippers in the new Intuit Dome on Sunday night.

The start for the Jazz was less than ideal and the Clippers scored ten straight points right out of the gate. Los Angeles grew their lead throughout the first half, taking a 21-point lead into the break.

The second half was much of the same until there were less than five minutes remaining in the game and the Jazz went on a run. They closed the gap to as few as ten points but were unable to make open shots down the stretch as the LA Clippers weathered the storm to win 116-105, handing Utah their second loss in a row.

The Clippers win came on the backs of Ivica Zubac and James Harden who both had more than 20 points. For the Jazz, Jordan Clarkson had a stellar performance off the bench, scoring 21 points in 29 minutes.
