Several times this month, theyve had to close the court to reporters at Staples Center before games in order to fit in a couple of much-needed walkthroughs.Its been such a blur because theres been so many games, Paul said. But we cant look at that, or look for excuses like that.

He made some big shots and got some tough rebounds, Paul said. He had some tough calls go against him, but he just didnt let it bother him. I think that shows the growth in our team, and also in Blake.DeAndre Jordan had 19 rebounds for the Clippers. The two-time defending Pacific Division champions blocked 12 shots and never trailed in the fourth quarter despite leading by no more than five.We got stops when we needed to, and Matt Barnes did an unbelievable job on Gordon Hayward, Paul said. Adidas Ultra Boost China Wholesale. We know how Hayward can score the ball, but when he was making all those moves, Matt was right there, and he never gave up on those plays.The Clippers are 10-6 in December with one game left. Its the seventh time they have reached double digits in a month since the start of the 2011-12 season — including December 2012, when they became the first NBA team to go 16-0 in a month. They capped it by beating the Jazz 107-96 at home.Hayward scored 22 points for the Jazz, and Rudy Gobert added 13 rebounds and 11 points off the bench.Shooting guard Alec Burks missed his second straight game because of chronic soreness in his left shoulder. He also sat out two games early this month.Theyre a really good team. And for us to fight on the road like this is really positive, Hayward said. But we just have to close out games a little bit better and find ways to get good looks.Pauls 3-pointer with 35.6 seconds left in the third quarter helped Los Angeles pull even at 77-77. Jamal Crawford was outscoring the rest of the Clippers bench 14-0 until Jordan Farmar made a 3-pointer on his first shot of the game with 10:25 to play.___TIP-INSJazz: Their most recent victory over the Clippers was on Jan. 17, 2012, when they extended their home winning streak against them to 16 with a 108-79 decision. … Hayward totalled 57 points against the Clippers in the first two meetings — losses by six and 16 points respectively.
