The Jazz's next match up is against a team who they haven't beat yet this season, the Los Angeles Clippers. The game is in L.A., so it will be tough. the two times the Clippers have visited Utah this season have come down to the wire, but the Jazz haven't been able to finish them off. The Jazz are trying to avoid a season sweep. Thanks for reading, and here are some pictures:
