Clippers facing another 0-2 deficit as series shifts to LA – Cache Valley Daily

Los Angeles Clippers guard Paul George (13) argues with an official during the second half of Game 2 of the team’s second-round NBA basketball playoff series against the Utah Jazz on Thursday, June 10, 2021, in Salt Lake City. (AP Photo/Rick Bowmer) The Los Angeles Clippers find themselves in familiar territory — down 2-0 in their second straight playoff series and seeing one player outplay their two superstars. While the Clippers proved they could work their way out of a deep hole before, the challenges are steeper as they prepare to face the Utah Jazz on Saturday as the scene shifts to Staples Center for Game 3 of the Western Conference semifinal series. The downtown Los Angeles court, which has been the franchise’s home since 1999, has not given them any advantages when it comes to the postseason. They have lost nine of their last 11 home playoff games. Last Sunday’s 126-111 victory over Dallas in Game 7 snapped a eight-game home playoff losing streak.

(AP Photo/Rick Bowmer) SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Donovan Mitchell’s scoring sent the Utah Jazz into the lead and their defense closed the door. Mitchell scored 37 points and the Jazz forced nine straight misses down the stretch to outlast the Los Angeles Clippers 117-111 on Thursday night and take a 2-0 lead in their Western Conference semifinal series. Mitchell clinched the game with a driving shot with 43 seconds remaining but then appeared to hurt his leg slightly on a foul by Paul George with 10 seconds to play. He made one of two free throws after hobbling to the line. “I’m fine now. I walked in here and if you want me to sprint for you, I can. I’m good,” Mitchell said.
