With 2:29 left to play in the first quarter, Indiana’s Jalen Smith attempted to pass the ball to one of his teammates after pulling down an offensive rebound. George picked off the pass like a defensive back in football before he turned into a baseball player and rocketed the ball ahead to Clarkson.
Clarkson collected the pass and went up for an easy dunk with no defenders near him. The jam gave Utah a 29-22 lead.
