The Los Angeles Clippers were facing an uphill battle entering Game 5 of their series against the Utah Jazz as they had to enter Salt Lake City without the services of their best player, Kawhi Leonard.

In the end, that wound up not being much of an issue for them as the underdog came out on top in a 119-111 victory to take a 3-2 lead in the series.

When the Clippers needed him the most, Paul George came up clutch as he finished the win with a game-high 37 points to lead four players for Los Angeles finishing in double figures.

With the win, Los Angeles now has an opportunity to close this series out at Staples Center on Friday night in Game 6. .

It's a 119-111 win for the Clippers.

They are now one game away from the Western Conference Finals, the first in franchise history.
