SALT LAKE CITY – Keyonte George, Isaiah Collier, and newly acquired Utah Jazz forward KJ Martin combined for a highlight reel dunk against the Houston Rockets.
After Walker Kessler blocked Alperen Sengun’s dunk attempt, George grabbed the rebound, found Collier with a pretty pass between two defenders, to kicked the ball back to Martin for the big dunk.
Saturday’s game was Martin’s second in a Jazz uniform after being acquired at the trade deadline.

KJ Martin Records Second Highlight For Jazz
Martin’s dunk is his second highlight in as many nights after flashing his athleticism with an impressive block against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Friday.
The 24-year-old rotated for a weakside blocked shot on Chet Holmgren’s layup attempt for the Thunder.

Martin was acquired by the Jazz at the trade deadline earlier this month, but has yet to suit up for the team.
