SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson threw a very high lob to center Rudy Gobert for the one-handed dunk against the Thunder.

Early in the second quarter, Jordan Clarkson was driving down the lane when he saw Rudy Gobert on the left block. The Jazz sixth man hopeful threw a high lob to the Defensive Player of the Year hopeful and threw it down with his right hand.

That play gave the Jazz a 37-26 lead over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Friday night.

It was a great first quarter for the Jazz and they felt the presence of Mike Conley, who was back in the lineup after missing the last 9 games due to injury. Utah outscored Oklahoma City 30-20 in the first quarter. Bojan Bogdanovic and Royce O’Neale each scored six points. Jordan Clarkson and Mike Conley each added five points.

Oklahoma City was led by Theo Maledon with seven points.

The Jazz will wrap up the regular season on Sunday, May 16 on the road against the Sacramento Kings. Tip-off will be at 7 p.m. MDT and will be televised on AT&T SportsNet.
