Los Angeles • The third time was far from the charm. After two games against the Clippers in December that went down to the final seconds, the Jazz lost 107-96 at Staples Center on Dec. 30.
With the season series already lost, the Jazz hope to continue a recent hot streak against one of the best teams in the West in their fourth and final matchup with the Clippers. The teams will tip off at 8:30 p.m. Mountain.
The first key will be stopping - OK, overcoming - Chris Paul. The Jazz aren't alone in having difficulty with the All-Star Paul, but they're the ones burdened with the task tonight. It becomes especially difficult, coach Tyrone Corbin said, if it's a close game.
"He's going to have the ball in his hands with a lot of screens up top at the end of the ball game," Corbin said. "You have to give him different looks, you have to be able to keep him out of the lane. He does a good job of making plays not only for himself but for his teammates if he gets into the paint." But the Clippers don't just start and stop with Paul, who averages 20.7 points and 8 assists in three games against the Jazz. Blake Griffin is his favorite target in the post, and was an All-Star again this year.
But the bigger issue for the Jazz? Corbin points to likely Sixth Man of the Year Jamal Crawford.
"You can have the first group under control pretty good," Corbin said, "and he can come in and go crazy on you. This is a veteran group, they feed off of each other well, they feed off of runs, they feed off of dunks."
Hayward healthy • Gordon Hayward has talked about his right shoulder being sore after returning from missing 10 games before the All-Star break. The Jazz's top reserve clarified Saturday, saying that any pain he feels now is not entirely related to the sprain, which he suffered against the Pacers in late January.
"It's a hundred percent," he said, "but after a game it's a little sore. It's just like people's knees they'll play and after the game it's a little sore."
More events • The Jazz shot around Saturday at a downtown L.A. apartment complex due to a conflict at the Staples Center. The arena hosts more than 250 events a year and is home to the Clippers, Lakers and Los Angeles Kings. Those events are often in near-succession. The Jazz played the Lakers earlier this year in an evening game, just hours after the Clippers played a matinee. On Friday night, the Lakers beat the Blazers and at 1 p.m. Pacific the Kings will host a hockey game. Busy, busy place.

Best Of :: Food & Drink
Tucked away in a converted house on the outskirts of Delray Beach's Pineapple Grove is the juiciest, meatiest, most delicious burgers that can be found in South Florida. On the corner of NE Third Street and Third Avenue, the appropriately named 3rd & 3rd creates burger magic. A firm brioche bun cradles a perfectly seared patty of luscious beef with lettuce, tomato, onion, and choice of pepper jack, cheddar, Swiss, or blue cheese. Those ingredients alone make for the perfect burger. Add the balsamic red onion jam and you have yourself a match made in heaven.
Jacques Bruna is a man of many hats. A musician, a lyricist, a friend, a family man. In this case, Jacques (or "Bleubird") is a bartender, and a damned fine one at that. Working at Laser Wolf for just a little under a year, Jacques tends bar "to make helicopter cash," he says. Still, Bruna takes pride in his work, describing all of the hours there as "happy" when asked for advice on the best time to come in for a drink, and everything is "special." Ask him for a recommendation and Bruna will tell you that Laser Wolf "only serves the best beer, so you can't go wrong!" He knows your name, remembers your face, and if he doesn't say much, it's because he's listening. Fast with his wit, Bruna is even faster on his feet. When one night, a regular suddenly started looking ill and feeling even worse, the man stepped up when no one else would to drive this friend and patron home safely (because no one else knew how to drive stick). Don't rely on the bartenders at Laser Wolf as a regular cab service, but that is the stuff a Best Bartender is made of. "He really wasn't doing so good," Bruna says. "I had never seen him like that. Bartender or not—why wouldn't you help someone if you could?" After all, the sign on the door does say "No Jerks."
No category is more hotly contested than Best Pizza. Everyone has an opinion, and with so many former New Yorkers living in our midst, most of those opinions are negative. (We get it. New York has the best pizza.) But Annie's Pizza & Subs meets all the requirements for a perfect pie: Slices are bigger than your face. There's a good sauce-to-cheese ratio. And when you bite in — scalding the roof of your mouth a little because you just couldn't wait — the cheese stretches the length of your arm before breaking loose yet doesn't slide off in a cheese avalanche. At Annie's, when you fold the slice at the top, grease drips down your arm, and the tip of the floppy slice points downward at a 45-degree angle. Feel free to argue that you can't get good pizza down here and write an essay extolling the magical properties of New York water in the baking of pizza dough. After rousing from our pizza-induced coma, we're going to actively ignore you and eat another slice.
Run by Mohod Flafil and his wife, Hanna, this is not just a falafel stand. The goods here range from yogurt soda to hookah tobacco to halal meats from the deli. If you've been hunting down a rare ingredient or craving some baklava, this well-organized, clean, brightly lit little shop is the place to stop. Then, of course, there's the falafel. Hanna (who prepares the food) is not stingy — there are plenty of crispy chickpea balls in the nearly foot-long tube of pita bread — which is baked and delivered to the shop every day but Sunday. A falafel sandwich comes with tomatoes, onion, pickles, and tahini sauce, but they will gladly leave off any topping you don't want. The falafel meal includes a drink and a piece of baklava. (Do NOT skip the baklava.) Falafel balls are also available minus the sandwich for 70 cents apiece.
Traditional fries have an old-school appeal that means they'll always be the most popular kid in school: the quarterback, the letterman, the prom king. But like the intense, art-school loner who charms all the ladies, there's something special about the orange-hued uniqueness of a sweet-potato fry. And when they're hand-cut and fried to a light, gentle crisp, it's easy to pass up your average-joe potato. At the family-owned Gilbert's 17th Street Grill, you can pair 'em with a juicy burger or make 'em your main course — they're downright addictive. They'll come out piping hot, sitting coyly atop newsprint. Place your order at the counter and sit a spell in the casual, no-frills dining room. Once you've inhaled an order or two, you may need to be rolled out. But a tryst with these homemade treasures is well worth the aftermath.
You've had your fake-crab California roll a million times. Sure, you like it. And yeah, it's comforting — the blankie of sushi. Well, kids, it's time to grow up in the world of Japanese cuisine. There are things going on outside that Americanized roll universe that you couldn't even dream. Like Imoto's special nigiri. Sticky yet downy mounds of rice are topped with the most decadent combination of ingredients. Fluke nigiri ($4.50) comes topped with foie gras, momiji, scallion, and ponzu. Scallop nigiri ($4) boasts lemon, shiso salt, and tomburi. Lobster nigiri ($7) is delicately layered with ginger sauce and fried shiso. What? You need something more? Imoto is open.

Demi Lovato, Miley Cyrus 'unfollow' each other on Twitter
Listen to Demi Lovato on iHeartRadio | Listen to Miley Cyrus on iHeartRadio
It looks like another chapter in Demi Lovato and Miley Cyrus' on-and-off friendship could be unfolding.
The two former Disney stars are no longer following each other on Twitter, pointing to signs that they may be butting heads yet again. Celebuzz.com says the rumored rift could stem from a tweet Demi sent out earlier this month, joking that the words "twerk" and "turnt" -- two words commonly found on Miley's page -- "need to disappear."
But their "unfollows" could stem from a more serious comment from back in December, when Miley's friend and personal assistant Cheyne Thomas posted a video that seemed to poke fun at Demi's 2010 stint in rehab.
Demi may have been responding to questions from fans when she posted a photo of a crowded arena on her "Neon Lights" tour, with the caption "Ain't nobody got time fo' dat!!!"

By Rich Myhre Herald Writer
Like a lot of kids in Snohomish County, Connor Nobach of Stanwood grew up an Everett Silvertips fan.
A hockey player himself, Nobach once played in a youth game during a Silvertips intermission at Comcast Arena. One of his favorite players was Mitch Love, a rugged defenseman in the team's early years.
"I always watched the Silvertips when I was a little kid," said the 15-year-old Nobach. "And I always wanted to be one of the Silvertips players."
Some dreams never come true, but this one might.
Nobach, a freshman at Stanwood High School, has developed into a promising hockey prospect. So promising, in fact, that he was chosen in the fifth round of the recent Western Hockey League bantam draft.
Drafted by — you guessed it — the Everett Silvertips.
Nobach, a defenseman, is only the second Snohomish County player ever drafted by the Silvertips, following Daniel Woolfenden of Mill Creek, picked in the seventh round in 2012. No county player has ever played for Everett, but it could happen as soon as next season.
The possibility of being the first makes Nobach smile.
"That would be cool," he said.
Nobach went to his first Silvertips game when he was 6, and a year later he was playing in the Seattle Junior Hockey Association. He was an average player for a few seasons, but then began making marked improvement.
A year ago he attended a prospects camp in Los Angeles and played well enough to be picked up by the LA Junior Kings of the California Amateur Hockey Association. In September he moved to Los Angeles, lived with a billet family in Burbank, Calif., attended nearby Glendale High School, and played hockey from September to March.
In April he returned to Los Angeles for a WHL prospects camp, where he was approached by a Silvertips representative. It was Love, Nobach's childhood hero, who is today an Everett assistant coach.
Though the Silvertips were interested in Nobach foremost as a hockey player, the fact that he was a local boy was a bonus.
"He had a great showing in that (camp)," Love said. "He was one of the top defensemen … and he probably had one of the bigger hits on a skill player for another team.
"Being an old defenseman myself, when I watch his game I see a guy who moves pretty well. He skates pretty well, he moves the puck real well, and he does the little things right. … Connor sees the game real well and he thinks the game real well."
On draft day, Nobach was in San Jose, Calif., for a USA Hockey camp. He had no idea his name had been called "until my phone started blowing up from my mom and my dad and everybody else calling to congratulate me."
"We knew there was a chance (he would be chosen by the Silvertips)," said Rod Nobach, Connor's father. "They let us know that they liked him, but that they were also looking at other players."
Rod Nobach was watching a live broadcast of the draft, and when his son's name was called "I was surprised, but it was great."
Because he is only 15, Nobach cannot play fulltime for the Silvertips next season. He expects to return for another season in Los Angeles, but could play five games for Everett during the initial months of the schedule and then join the team fulltime after the LA Junior Kings finish their season.
But the 5-foot-11, 165-pound Nobach — and he is still growing — is also considering playing college hockey. He would lose that option by joining the Silvertips.
The decision of whether to play college or junior hockey "will depend on how good I am at that point," Connor Nobach said. "If I feel that I need a lot more developing, than I'd rather go the college route. But if I develop in the next few years, than I would definitely go the WHL."
His ultimate dream is a chance to play in the National Hockey League. On a scale of 1 to 10, he said, "that'd be a 10 for me. That'd be ideal."
"He's worked for this," Rod Nobach said. "This has always been what he's wanted to pursue."
The funny thing is, another kid from Stanwood once fell in love with hockey and ended up in the NHL. T.J. Oshie grew up in Everett, but then moved to Stanwood — where much of his family still lives — before finishing his high school years in Minnesota. He went on to the University of North Dakota and today plays for the NHL's St. Louis Blues.
Adding to the irony, T.J. Oshie's aunt and uncle live just around the corner from the Nobachs in Stanwood. The two players have never met, but Connor Nobach knows about Oshie and certainly hopes to follow his path to the NHL.
"If I think to the future about what could happen, I always get excited about it," he said. "It'll take a lot of work, but it's definitely a goal of mine to get there someday."o
