After a sluggish first half, the Clippers scored 31 points in the third quarter to take an eight-point lead into the final frame.
The Clippers were up 11 points with less than three minutes remaining, but the Jazz went on a 13-5 run to cut the lead to just three points with a chance to tie in the final seconds.
Joe Johnson missed the game-tying three, and the ball landed out of bounds where the Clippers sealed the deal with two Paul free throws.
