Millsap, who was rumored to be on the trading block before Thursday’s trade deadline, scored 17 points in a contentious first half. But he was the only Jazz player to score until the 2:55 mark of the first quarter.

The Clippers outshot the Jazz 51 percent to 41 percent, and outrebounded them 46-39.

"A team like this," Hayward said, "they get dunk after dunk, they’ll put a lot of points on you pretty quickly and that’s what happened."
