Johnson, who scored 21 points, was left isolated against Jamal Crawford on the final play. He powered his way inside and lofted a shot over Crawford and DeAndre Jordan that bounced around the rim before falling in. A video review confirmed it was good.

He’s made an NBA-best eight game-winning buzzer-beaters in the past 10 years. “That’s what he’s been doing all his career,” Utah’s Boris Diaw who had 7 points and 6 assists, said. “So when he gets the ball at the end of the game, we are pretty confident.”

Gordon Hayward had 19 points and 10 rebounds for Utah. Blake Griffin scored 26 points and Chris Paul added 25 points and 11 assists for the Clippers, whose seven-game winning streak ended with their first loss since March 26 against Sacramento.

Gobert was initially examined at Staples Center by the Utah Jazz medical staff and underwent X-rays on his left knee, the results of which were negative. He was then transported off-site for further magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) testing, which revealed no ligament damage. He has been diagnosed with a left knee hyperextension and bone contusion. He will continue to be reevaluated and further updates will be provided when appropriate.
