During a timeout, the Jazz had an inflatable ball race between an adult Clippers fan and a child Jazz fan. The Clippers fan decided to knock the kid down so he could win the race, but he was greeted with a rude awakening further down the court when the Jazz mascot, Jazz Bear, leveled him with a brutal hit.

That was almost as painful as watching DeAndre Jordan shoot a free throw. The Clippers fan got up and walked like he had just been hit by Kam Chancellor.
.@LAClippers @utahjazz Oh wow. That fan looked in bad nick. Even the Jazz announcer asked "Is he OK?" pic.twitter.com/vx6srX5En9

Whether it was staged or not is unclear, but if it wasn't, the Clips fan still deserved the hit after knocking the child down.
Also important: don't mess with Jazz Bear. He will destroy you.
