LOS ANGELES�After struggling with turnovers early in the game, the Los Angeles Clippers rebounded to take a halftime lead but needed some late magic from Eric Bledsoe to seal a 92-89 win over the Utah Jazz.

The Clippers turned the ball over 15 times to Utah's one; five early turnovers by Chauncey Billups and Chris Paul helped put the Clippers in a 12-2 hole to start the game. Los Angeles retook the lead with six minutes left in the second quarter, going up by as many as 10 points before more turnovers allowed Utah to tie the game with just over two minutes remaining.

Eric Bledsoe scored 20 points off the bench to pace the Clippers, playing most of the fourth quarter while Billups watched from the bench; Bledsoe's two late free throws put the Clippers up 92-87 and sealed the win. 12 of Bledsoe's points and all six of his assists came during the quarter.

Paul scored 15 points and added six assists in the win, but he and Billups each accounted for five turnovers. Blake Griffin just missed out on a double-double, scoring 12 points and pulling in eight rebounds.

Utah's Mo Williams, playing against his former team, led all scorers with 25 points and added 10 assists for a double-double. Al Jefferson pitched in 18 points and six rebounds, while frontcourt mate Paul Millsap added 14 points and four rebounds.

Alec Burks, making his first career playoff start filling in for the injured Raja Bell, scored 16 points.

Bledsoe led a Clippers bench that outscored the Jazz bench 43-14; behind Bledsoe, Lamar Odom was the second-leading bench scorer, tallying 10 points and six rebounds.
