The Los Angeles Clippers entered Game 2 after a dispiriting Game 1 loss to the Utah Jazz. They turned it around with a much-needed Game 2 win. They left the game with three major positive developments to build on heading into Game 3.
The Los Angeles Clippers appeared to be in line for a big break after Rudy Gobert went down with an unfortunate injury early in the first game against the Utah Jazz. Instead, they never quite managed to find a rhythm and lost on a Joe Johnson buzzer beater.
With only one more game before traveling out to Utah, the Clippers needed a big win in Game 2. They did not exactly blow out the Jazz, but they led for most of the game in a 99-91 win.
There three important factors that stood out in this game, ranging from somewhat important to vital for the Clippers’ future success.
If Los Angeles can maintain their successes and build on their weak points, they will control the outcome of the rest of the series.
