But we have to get to the point where we do that to the other team, too.” That’s a question of us focusing on those areas and making them more important, and when we do that, we’ll get a different result. Still a chance to get away from the same … well, you know. And that’s on me — as a leader, you’ve got to know,” he said. I didn’t see us emotionally fragile — I saw a team that didn’t do the things that, fundamentally, we have to do.” “I mean, it hurts. And at that point, it became a self-perpetuating spiral into immolation. We never get our hands dirty,” he said. We lose the values of this team, which is moving the ball,” Gobert said. So you can say we could have hit some free throws, we could have done this … There’s two things: We’ve got to get bodies on people and rebound, and we’ve got to take care of the ball.” “If we’re not doing those two things, there’s nothing,” Snyder said. “I don’t know.

George scored 10 points during a period-ending 12-4 burst, and the Clippers trailed 94-82 entering the final stanza. George drained a trey with 5:37 left to start a 13-0 run as Los Angeles made its late-game charge. Mitchell and Clarkson responded with baskets to put Utah back ahead, 113-112, with 1:56 left. The Jazz are tied for fifth with the Denver Nuggets. Reggie Jackson scored 21 points, Luke Kennard added 17 and Isaiah Hartenstein contributed 14 points, seven rebounds and six assists for Los Angeles. George made 6 of 9 3-point attempts and played 31 minutes in his first action since Dec. 22.

Paul George made his first game back from injury a memorable one, scoring 34 points to help the Clippers rally past the Jazz.

But George’s personal comeback led to his team’s comeback, something the Clippers havemade a habit of all season. It was arguably George’s best game of the season, as he finished with 34 points on 10-of-20 shooting (third-most points all season), a season-best six made 3s out of nine attempts, 8 of 11 free throws (all in the second half), six assists, two turnovers, four steals and a block of Gobert. At that point, George had only nine points after a scoreless first quarter, and he split his first free-throw attempts of the game on the possession before Rudy Gobertfinished a lob from Mike Conley.

"It's a big morale boost," Clippers coach Tyronn Lue said. "Guys were getting worn down and tired. We needed that.".

"We turned the ball over eight times I think in the fourth quarter. Mitchell tried to call a timeout on an inbounds pass along the baseline with 10 seconds left, but the Jazz had none left. The game completely changes when we give ourselves a chance." It was their first single-digit deficit since the opening quarter, when they were held to 14 points. From there, the Clippers outscored Utah 34-12 to end the game. "I feel good," he said.

The Utah Jazz did it again. Blowing a 25-point lead to the LA Clippers in Paul George's return from injury, shades of Game 6 were everywhere in this one.

Habits such as blown leads are part of this problem, and the Clippers were able to exploit that once again in this one. The Utah Jazz are still right in the middle of the Western Conference playoff picture, but it is hard to imagine too many people taking them seriously as contenders. It’s the same thing, it’s literally the same thing.

LOS ANGELES - The LA Clippers welcomed Paul George back to the lineup in dramatic fashion on Tuesday night. The Utah Jazz tried thei...

Honestly, right after it happened, I was on the side of just getting surgery and getting over it and getting it done now so I don’t have to go into a summer rehabbing and healing and nursing an injury. I wanted to hit the ground running in the summer time so immediately I wanted to get surgery, but the doctor that dealt with this and saw this a lot in athletes said that this injury heals, that the ligament will attach itself back to the bone and I should be fine, just give it some time so… I just kept the guys encouraged to keep going and stay in it because at some point I will return.” “I was always optimistic that I could come back and play, just my history, coming down to playoffs. I could shoot and be a catch-and-shoot player for us, but to be a playmaker, to be a ball handler, I felt I would’ve been really limited just ’cause of the pain. “I felt good, but honestly I was well prepared coming into tonight,” Paul George said after the win.
