Xavier Moon misses a winning shot at the buzzer as the Clippers lose 110-109 to the Utah Jazz after already clinching fourth in the Western Conference.

The Clippers' first-round playoff matchup was set before tip-off Friday night. With Dallas losing to Detroit, the Clippers already knew before their 110-109 loss to the Utah Jazz that they had clinched the fourth seed in the Western Conference and will play the Mavericks in the first round of the playoffs. “It means a lot. You have a chance to play on your home floor,” Clippers coach Tyronn Lue said before the game.

The Clippers haven't said if Leonard will play against Houston in the regular-season finale Sunday. In 68 games, Leonard averaged 23.7 points, 6.1 rebounds and 3.6 assists and shot 52.5% from the field, 41.7% from three-point range. Lue said getting healthy is the team's 'No. 1 priority' heading into the playoffs. James Harden returned after missing two games with right foot inflammation. He played just 10 minutes and had four points and five assists.
