Markkanen has 34 points and 12 rebounds, and the weary Clippers, playing the second game of a back-to-back set, without Kawhi Leonard and Paul George, never lead in a 126-103 loss.
The Associated Press
Lauri Markkanen had 34 points and 12 rebounds to help the Utah Jazz to a 126-103 victory over a weary Clippers team that was playing the second night of a back-to-back set and doing it without All-Stars Kawhi Leonard and Paul George. Markkanen made his mark close to the basket and around the perimeter, including a ferocious dunk over Ivica Zubac followed by a 3-pointer to give Utah a 78-62 lead in the third quarter.
Norman Powell led the Clippers with 30 points, and Zubac added 15 points and 12 rebounds. The Clippers have dropped nine of their last 11 games.
