After losing two tightly-contested ball games at Utah, the Los Angeles Clippers finally secured a much-needed blowout victory over the Jazz in Game 3, 132-106.
All-Stars Kawhi Leonard and Paul George finally proved why they are one of the best duos in the league as the two forwards combined for 65 points in the Clippers’ win.
Leonard led the way for the Clippers as he finished with 34 points, 12 rebounds, and 5 assists, while George, who struggled from the field in Games 1 and 2, chipped in 31 points on 12-of-24 shooting.
Meanwhile, the top-seeded Jazz, who have won six straight prior to Game 3, suffered only their second loss in this year’s playoffs.
The Clippers finally found ways to contain Jazz star Donovan Mitchell as the high-scoring guard only finished with 30 points after averaging 41 points in the first two games of the series.
With Jazz starting point guard Mike Conely still listed as “questionable” due to a hamstring injury, the Jazz will expect a big bounce-back performance from Mitchell, as well as more contribution from NBA Sixth Man of the Year Jordan Clarkson, who only had 14 points on a dismal 5-of-16 shooting in Game 3.
As both teams clash once again for the crucial Game 4, will the Clippers even the series or will the Jazz take a commanding 3-1 lead?
Game time is at 10 am on Tuesday, June 15, Manila time.
