The Los Angeles Clippers defeated the Utah Jazz, 131-119, at Staples Center on Friday night in Game 6 of their Western Conference semifinal-round series. The Clippers have won the series, 4-2.

The Clippers (3-2) came into Friday's home contest riding plenty of momentum from a Game 5 road upset, but still missing their best player in Kawhi Leonard (knee). After a tightly contested first quarter from which the Jazz emerged with a slim two-point lead, Utah took a seemingly commanding advantage before halftime by outscoring Los Angeles, 39-19, in the second quarter. The visitors' advantage extended to 25 points on their first basket of the third period, but it was essentially all downhill from there. The hosts finished the game on an amazing 81-44 run from that point forward, and a pair of Patrick Beverley three-pointers within the last three-plus minutes helped seal the series-clinching win.

Donovan Mitchell fought through his ankle injury to lead the Jazz with 39 points, complementing them with nine rebounds, nine assists and one steal. Royce O'Neale and Jordan Clarkson posted matching 21-point tallies while pulling down 10 and four rebounds, respectively. Bojan Bogdanovic furnished 14 points and four rebounds. Rudy Gobert generated a 12-point, 10-rebound double-double that also included two assists and two steals.

Terance Mann paced the Clippers with a career-high 39 points, supplementing them with two rebounds, one assist and two steals. Paul George supplied 28 points, nine rebounds, seven assists and three steals. Reggie Jackson delivered 27 points, 10 assists, three rebounds and three steals. Nicolas Batum turned in 16 points, seven boards, two assists, three blocks and two steals. Beverley finished with 12 points, four rebounds, four assists, three steals and one block.

The Clippers now move on to the conference finals, where they'll face the Phoenix Suns on the road in Game 1 on Sunday.
