Johnson scored a team-high 21 points off the bench for the Jazz, who lost Gobert less than 20 seconds into the game after sustaining a sprained left knee. You move to the next game.
"It (stinks) because I would like to play tonight", Rivers said. The conditions for his eighth on Saturday night (no other player has more than four) were favorable. "(I'll) cheer my teammates on tonight". Utah Jazz center, Rudy Gobert, got injured early on in the game, thus making getting into the paint that much easier for the Clippers. Blake Griffin and Chris Paul, the peanut butter and jelly of the Clippers, can become free agents this summer, and it's expected they'll exercise their options.
Ron Boone mentioned on the broadcast that with Rudy Gobert out, the Jazz were going to have to make up for his rebounds and Hayward got 10.
Rivers was a huge part of the Clippers' success against Utah in the regular season. Griffin had just two points and didn't make a field goal in the final frame. "That's what we need to do, and obviously tonight was a big win for our group". "And then his defense".
However, the Clippers bench contributed just 12 points, while Utah's veteran depth won out.
Doc Rivers, tie loose and jacket off, scrunched up his face as a reporter quizzed him about LA's late-game strategy. Joe played on fellow sharp-shooter J.J. Redick for most of the night and completely nullified him in all facets of the game. In the back court, Gordon came toward him for the ball and Joe kept the possession. Didn't feel good and they took me off and waited a couple more days, with a little treatment and stuff like that.

"In those moments of the game, guys are not going to help", Johnson said. "We've tried to adapt what we do to our personnel", Snyder said. But I feel like we're not at that point.
The Clippers now have a tough job on their hands if they are to turn this series around as Utah is a hard place to win and they ended the regular season with the third-best defence.
The next day was April 29. The series was overshadowed by the riots in Los Angeles after the Rodney King verdicts were handed down.
Coach Quin Snyder adjusted his defense well on the fly to account for Gobert's absence. But if they lose Game 2, the series is pretty much over. Paul's shot gave them an opportunity to defend and hope for an overtime period.
After the injury, Jazz fans immediately assumed the worst: that Gobert had structural damage to his knee and his team was doomed. It would be very surprising to me if Hood was to start a game in the postseason unless Ingles went down with an injury.
