he Jazz have missed their star point guard for 5 games, and in the 5th game, their star offensive player was playing on one leg. The playing field, in terms of health, is not equal between the two teams. Yes, the Clippers are missing Ibaka. But he's a role player for them. Mitchell and Conley are two of the Jazz' three best players. Roles matter in the NBA. When a team is healthy, their players settle into roles. When star players are hurt, players with lesser roles are expected to pick up the slack. Not having a healthy backcourt means guys are being asked to do things they're not capable of doing at a championship level.
