Utah Jazz beat the Clippers 110-109

In an exciting matchup on Friday night, Kenneth Lofton Jr. delivered a standout performance, scoring a season-high 27 points to lead the Utah Jazz to a narrow 110-109 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers. Despite already securing the fourth seed in the Western Conference playoffs, the Clippers put up a spirited effort, with Bones Hyland leading their scoring with 20 points off the bench, closely followed by Amir Coffey's 16-point contribution.

The Clippers' playoff seeding was solidified earlier in the evening when the Dallas Mavericks suffered a loss to the Detroit Pistons, ensuring that the Clippers would enter the postseason as the fourth seed. This sets the stage for a first-round playoff clash between the Mavericks and the Clippers, marking the third time in five years that these two teams will face off in the opening round.
