Jazz's Game 2 defensive rating with Gobert off the floor: 169.6
There's a reason he has three of those trophies.

The @utahjazz now lead the @NBA playoff series vs @LAClippers 2-0 .@spidadmitchell was fantastic scoring 37 & with @rudygobert27 a Windex Man ripping off 20 rebounds were too much for @kawhileonard & Co. Yes Clips came back vs @dallasmavs but the Jazz r a stronger team.

Utah survived the Reggie Jackson game. Donovan Mitchell has been incredible. Jordan Clarkson was great. Two wins at home without Mike Conley and two wins that weren't really all the way the Jazz formula. 20 made threes tonight, 51% but only 15 assists on 42 made shots.

Jazz finish with a 117-111 Game 2 win, while Donovan Mitchel (37 points) continues to dominate. Clippers overcame a 0-2 deficit to Dallas, but Jazz are much, much better.

Jazz worked the same margin in Game 2 that they did all season: Nine more 3PA than the Clippers and nine more makes.
