The Jazz vs. Clippers live stream is here, and it may prove how L.A. has something that not many have this postseason: the flexibility to adapt to injuries. It's a good thing, because Paul George and company seem poised to take the Clippers to their first ever Conference Finals without Kawhi Leonard. If Game 5 was any indication, this will be another action-packed NBA playoff live stream.

Before the Jazz and Clippers tip-off in Game 5, L.A. learned that Leonard (two-time NBA champion and two-time Finals MVP) suffered an ACL injury in their last meeting and will miss the game. Leonard is "out indefinitely." Without Kawai, the Clippers turned to Paul George; fortunately for L.A., George was starting to heat up in the playoffs with back-to-back 30-point games for the first time in two years.

In Game 5, George rose to the occasion: the seven-time All-Star scored 37 points, his highest playoff total since playing for the Pacers in 2016, and also grabbed a career-high 16 rebounds. His efforts contributed to the Clippers' 119-111 victory." "It's no secret that I had to be big tonight," George told reporters after the game.

If the Jazz are going to force a Game 7, they cannot afford a poor performance like the third quarter of Game 5. Utah led by five at halftime, but was 0-for-10 from three in the third quarter and just 4-for-23 in the second half. The Clippers, on the other hand, came to life in the third quarter and outscored the Jazz 32-18. Utah star guard Donovan Mitchell was just 1-for-9 from three in the second half; he scored 21 points in the game, his lowest total of the postseason.

The Clippers enter Game 6 as 2.5-point favorites. The over/under is 219.5.
