After struggling offensively in their first three games, the Clippers got untracked by shooting 51 percent and making 15 of 17 free throws.
The Jazz ran off 13 straight points to tie the game at 62 in the third. Hayward hit a 3-pointer and added a steal and layup in the spurt. Griffin and Paul combined to score eight straight before Bullock's fourth 3-pointer kept the Clippers ahead 73-70 going into the fourth.
