Lou Williams has been absolutely fantastic for the Los Angeles Clippers since the start of the year, and this was evident yesterday in his performance against the Utah Jazz as he did something which has been seen in the NBA since the days of Michael Jordan at the Chicago Bulls.The Clippers lost 125-113 to the Jazz on Saturday at the Vivint Smart Home Arena in Utah, with Donovan Mitchell being a key part of that victory for the Jazz as he scored 23 points with five rebounds, seven assists, and two steals.However, Williams was the best player on the court yesterday, as the Clippers guard finished the game with 31 points, two rebounds, seven assists, and a career-high of 10 steals. This performance broke more than just individual records though.As well as being one steal off the single-game record of 11 steals, achieved by Kendall Gill in 1999 and Larry Kenon in 1976, Williams also became the first player since Michael Jordan in 1988 to score 30 or more points and grab 10 steals in the same game.According to ESPN, the 31-year-old is also the first player in league history to reach 30 points, 10 steals, and seven assists in a single game since steals became a recorded stat. Only Williams and Golden State Warriors star and current Defensive Player of the Year Draymond Green have recorded games with double-digit steals since 2009.

Nevertheless, despite his good performance, Williams was more focused on the team bouncing back from this loss after the game. He said: "We're a very resilient group. We were out here again tonight with another lineup and we fought hard and fell short. But it's a very resilient group."

Williams has been fantastic since New Year's Eve, as he has averaged 31 points on better than 45 percent shooting in the 11 game-span since that date. This sort of productivity has lead to many to believe that he should be an All-Star. It has also increased the reported trade interest in the guard.

Williams and the Clippers will play next on Monday night when they host the Minnesota Timberwolves at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.
