SALT LAKE CITY – Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson used a shimmy shake and all the sauce to free himself up for a layup in Utah’s game against the San Antonio Spurs.
The Jazz hosted the Spurs at Vivint Arena on Friday, December 17.
Trailing 100-98 with 10:55 remaining in the final quarter, Clarkson used his dynamic playmaking ability to shake two Spurs defenders, including a vicious ball fake that got Jakob Poeltl off his feet. Clarkson calmly waited for Poeltl to fly by before dropping the ball in the bucket, tying the game up at 100.
