Los Angeles at Utah

Coach Sloan has had success in Utah preaching defense, and his teams are notorious for coming out and putting the defensive clamps on teams early. Here is the most powerful stat of all to back that up. Coach Sloan has produced 62.4% first-half UNDER winners in over 1000 games coached. It takes two teams scoring to make totals go over, and the Clippers didn’t show that ability last year or so far this year. To good of a trend to buck, so I'll play the first-half UNDER here.
