Los Angeles Clippers @ Utah Jazz (January 17th, 2012)

Here's a report on the the Clippers vs. Jazz game from Tuesday. The game was all Jazz the whole game. This is probably because Chris Paul sat this game, along with the fact that the Clips were away. I'm going to make this report short. The Jazz dominated the paint scoring 56 of their points there. Paul Millsap played some pretty good defense, holding Blake Griffin to only 10 points. Millsap ended the game with 20 points, 6 rebounds, 1 assist, and 2 steals. Blake Griffin also did good. With a double-double, he ended the game with 10 points, 11 rebounds, 3 assists, and 1 block. Caron Butler had 14 points. Chauncey Billups didn't play as good as usual, ending the game with only 10 points. The Jazz's biggest lead was 34 points! Here's the stats leaders:

I thought the player of the game was Paul Millsap. Who do you think was the player of the game?

Rookie Report: Trey Thompkins

Today I'm going to tell you about rookie Trey Thompkins. Here's a picture of him:

Howard "Trey" Samuel Thompkins III is a 6 foot 10 inch power forward who played for the University of Georgia and is now playing, obviously, for the Clips. Thompkins played for the Wesleyan School in high school. He averaged 27.5 points per game and 14.7 rebounds per game in his senior year. He moved on to play for the University of Georgia and averaged 15.7 points per game and 7.8 rebound per game. He was in the 2011 NBA draft and was drafted by the Clips with the 37th overall pick.

I'm looking forward to a great year with Thompkins.
