Kris Dunn recorded five steals against the Utah Jazz in the Clippers' 115-103 victory, reminding everyone why the LA Clippers bet on the former All-Defensive Team guard despite injury concerns. Combined with James Harden's four steals, the Clippers turned defense into offense all night, creating the exact type of havoc that's fueled their 16-3 run since the middle of December.
Dunn swung this game; last year, it felt impossible for a non-superstar to have a signature performance like this. Championship teams, like the Clippers, need role players who can take over games in ways that don't show up in the scoring column.
