The Los Angeles Clippers have recently defeated the Dallas Mavericks in a long 7 game series. There is no doubt that nobody expected this series to go 7 games, but due to the talent of Luka Doncic, that was able to happen. However, with the Los Angeles Clippers winning Game 7, it looks as though they will face the Utah Jazz in the second round.
The series was a marquee matchup between two superstars in Luka Doncic and Kawhi Leonard, and needless to say, many fans were tuned in. The NBA world reacted to the Clippers winning, and it seems as though spirits are high in Clipper Nation.
LETS GO CLIPPERS.
NOW PROMISE ME YOU WILL NEVER TANK TO GET LUKA DONCIC IN THE PLAYOFFS EVER AGAIN.

There is no doubt that the Utah Jazz are a tough matchup, featuring an electric shooting guard in Donovan Mitchell and a DPOY winner in Rudy Gobert. While they will not be a pushover matchup, it is clear that the Los Angeles Clippers have the requisite talent to compete against the Utah Jazz.
We’ve seen Kawhi Leonard lead a team to the championship before while putting in a herculean effort on offense. They will need something similar to continue winning, but as we’ve seen before, Kawhi Leonard handles things come playoff time.
