The Atlanta Hawks weren’t the only team to pull off an upset on the road in Game 5 on Wednesday night. Despite possibly facing the rest of the NBA Playoffs without Kawhi Leonard, the Clippers came ready to play. Paul George finished the game with a game-high 37 points. Marcus Morris Sr. was particularly impressive, with 25 points on 10-16 shooting and converting on three of his four three-point attempts.
For the Jazz, the shooting went cold in Game 5. Utah shot just 37.0% from three-point range and 45.0% from the field. The Jazz will need the likes on Jordan Clarkson and Donovan Mitchell to rebound from their shooting woes in Game 5, if the Jazz are to force a Game 7.
