Clippers hold Jazz to 72, take over 4th place in West

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) Blake Griffin had 26 points, 10 rebounds and six assists and the Los Angeles Clippers rolled over the Utah Jazz 88-72 on Monday night.

The Clippers controlled the game for all but a short stretch of the first quarter while the Jazz had a horrific shooting night. DeAndre Jordan brought the energy early, then Austin Rivers got hot in the second quarter before Griffin had a dominant 12-point third quarter.

Jordan finished with 10 points and 13 rebounds, and Rivers had 15 points.

Utah shot 33 percent from the field and 20.8 from 3-point range – both season lows. The Clippers led by 28 in the third quarter following a 19-4 run.

Rudy Gobert had 10 points and 14 rebounds for Utah.
