Jazz got to a second play-off round, but had to wait for the name of their opponent. It turned out to be the Clippers, they managed to put up a fight in an away game, but hosts kept their advantage and took the lead in the series (112:109).
Los Angeles outfit can already be happy, because they managed to show better result than Lakers. On the other hand, that's the only reason to be optimistic, because they are having a hard time recording victories.
Tyronn Lue's team first series started at home against Dallas. Hosts were too nervous, so they lost two matches in a row, but managed to level the score after that. Eventually series came down to the seventh match.
Kawhi Leonard, Paul George and Marcus Morris did their best for their team to advance into the next round, but they couldn't contain Luka Doncic. Of course, result is the only thing that matters, but their fans were quite nervous throughout the series.

Tip and bets
Clippers had many difficult matches in the first series, but club still managed to step up and put up a fight against Utah. Clippers changed the game plan and they are ready to play aggressively in the second game as well. Utah ended their series a long time ago, so they had relaxed a little, but now they analyzed their mistakes and got ready to a next battle. Michael Conley's appearance in this game is under question, but Donovan Mitchell is available and he is the most important player. We think that Utah will record another win.
