Reggie Jackson Plays Big Role in Important Game 5 Win For Los Angeles Clippers

With Kawhi Leonard out for the playoffs due to an ACL injury, the Los Angeles Clippers looked to be in trouble. But on Wednesday they shot 51% from the floor to win a big game five against the Utah Jazz 119-111. Star Paul George scored 37 points to lead the team and Marcus Morris dropped 25, but it was former Boston College guard Reggie who Jackson stepped up in a big way with 22 points.

He shot 8-15 from the floor, along with 3-8 from three point range to go along with a pair of rebounds, three assists and two steals.
