Gordon tied the game at 91 at the end of regulation, but missed a runner in the lane at the end of the first overtime that could have won it.

After coming out strong to start the game, the Clippers again hit a snag in the third quarter, scoring only 18 points while allowing 31 and losing their lead.

Despite being down by 18 at one point, Utah continues its domination of LA – with winning eight of their last nine meetings.
