The Los Angeles Clippers defeated the Utah Jazz, 118-104, at Staples Center on Monday night in Game 4 of their Western Conference semifinal-round series. The series is tied, 2-2.

The Clippers (2-2) had put together an impressive effort in their first win of the series in Game 3, surprisingly dominating the Jazz (2-2) on the way to a 26-point victory. There was a legitimate question as to whether Los Angeles would be able to pull off the feat for a second straight game given the caliber of their opponent, but their thoroughly dominating 30-13 lead at the end of the first quarter seemed to answer that question unequivocally. The hosts had added another seven points to their advantage by halftime, and although Utah managed to outscore L.A. by a 60-50 margin over the final two quarters, that only served to make the final score look somewhat respectable.

Donovan Mitchell led the Jazz with 37 points, adding five rebounds, five assists and one steal. Joe Ingles furnished 19 points, three boards, three assists and one steal. Bojan Bogdanovic delivered 18 points, five assists, three rebounds and two steals. Rudy Gobert totaled 11 points, eight rebounds and one block. Royce O'Neale and Jordan Clarkson mustered matching eight-point tallies while recording eight and five rebounds, respectively.

Kawhi Leonard and Paul George co-led the Clippers with matching 31-point, four-assist contributions while pulling down seven and nine rebounds, respectively. Marcus Morris supplied 24 points, six rebounds, one assist and one steal.

The series shifts back to Utah, where the two teams reconvene for Game 5 at Vivint Smart Home Arena on Wednesday night.
