SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – Welcome to KSL Sports game night as the Utah Jazz face the Los Angeles Clippers.
The Jazz are still in pursuit of their first home win of the season after falling to the Phoenix Suns last night 106-95. Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Clippers are undefeated on the road with wins over the Los Angeles Lakers and Denver Nuggets to begin the season.
Follow this page for updates throughout the night including pregame availability, starting lineups, and quarter by quarter updates.
Donovan Mitchell has struggled mightily to open the season offensively. The guard is shooting just 34 percent from the floor and 29 percent from three through the team’s first four games.
Jazz coach Quin Snyder said even though Mitchell has proven himself as a scorer on the highest levels of the sport, he’s not beyond introspection when working through a slump.
“He’s grown and evolved as a player, but there’s always opportunities to look at how you’re playing and figure out the things that you can do to improve your play,” Snyder said. ” I don’t think that’s any different. So, we’ll continue to coach him and he’ll continue to work. That’ll be the process.”
The team has been light on both practice time and shoot around opportunities this season. With daily testing and travel, finding opportunities to gather as a team are limited. On back to backs, it becomes even more difficult.
“As a general rule on the back to backs, you don’t really try to get fresh legs,” Snyder said. “More rest, more sleep. And, a different type of preparation.”
Tonight is the first of three home game back to back series for the Jazz through the first half of the season. The Jazz will host the New York Knicks and Dallas Mavericks on January 26 and 27. Then, the team will host the Milwaukee Bucks and Miami Heat on February 12 and 13.
