SALT LAKE CITY -- Randy Foye knew what was coming. He had seen Chris Paul do it many times as a teammate in Los Angeles last year.

 

This time, going against the Clippers, Foye raced backcourt to steal the inbounds pass and put up a 3-pointer that would have won the game for the Utah Jazz.

 

Unlike his 3-pointer that pulled Utah within one point with 1.2 seconds remaining, this one missed its mark and was too late, allowing the Clippers to hang on for the 105-104 victory in Salt Lake City.

 

"I wish there were 3 seconds left because I would have been able to get to the basket or line it up and knock it down," said Foye, who came to the Jazz as a free agent this offseason.

 

"But it wasn't meant to be."

 

Blake Griffin led Los Angeles with a season-high 30 points and Jamal Crawford added 20 off the bench, including a pair of late free throws for the Clippers.

 

Early on, Monday's game looked like it might be a Jazz blowout.

 

"In the first half, it was almost a waste of time because no one showed up," Clippers coach Vinny Del Negro said of his team, which was still down 14 late in the third. "Our defense was weak, we were soft and we had no toughness. ... But I was very pleased with the way we responded ... and made plays down the stretch."

 

One of the biggest came from 6-foot-11 center DeAndre Jordan. He blocked Al Jefferson's short floater that would have tied the score at 101 with 26 seconds remaining.
