Clippers beat Jazz 116-114 for 16th straight win

Los Angeles vince in rimonta

NBA

Not a brutal stretch in the schedule, or a motivated team in a tough place to play, or a double-digit deficit could stop the Los Angeles Clippers' franchise-record winning streak on Friday night as the Clippers, playing their third game in four nights, defeated the Utah Jazz 116-114 to record their 16th straight victory.

Of course, it helps to have Chris Paul as well. Paul sank two free throws following a silly reach-in foul by Al Jefferson with 3.7 seconds remaining to give Los Angeles (24-6) its winning margin.

Paul had 29 points and six assists to lead the Clippers in a game that closely resembled the last time the two teams played in Utah. Los Angeles overcame a 19-point second-half deficit to beat the Jazz (15-16) on Friday night. The Clippers rallied from 14 down to beat Utah on Dec. 3.

Randy Foye scored a season-high 28 points for the slumping Jazz, who have lost three straight home games and six of eight overall. Foye took the last shot for Utah, a 3-pointer that was tightly contested by Matt Barnes as time expired.
