Utah escaped with the win by the margin of a single free throw, 96-95.
Meanwhile, you can't lose the game if you win every quarter, and that was precisely the L.A. Clippers' strategy against Charlotte on Monday. In a sloppy game that saw the teams combine for 42 turnovers, the Clippers took down Charlotte 111-96. Among those leading the charge for the L.A. Clippers was SF Kawhi Leonard, who had 30 points and six assists along with seven boards and three blocks.
Their wins lifted both teams to an identical 3-1. A pair of stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: Utah have been holding their opponents to a field goal percentage of 39.10%, which places them second in the league. But the L.A. Clippers rank first in the league when it comes to field goal percentage, with 52% on the season. We'll see which of these strengths -- offense or defense -- will win out.
