SALT LAKE CITY – As the NBA regular season ends and the playoffs begin, the league starts to roll out highlight compilations from the last seven months of basketball.
Three Utah Jazz highlights found their way into the NBA’s top 100 plays of the regular season.
Top Three Utah Jazz Highlights Of The Season
Collin Sexton Wraps Celtics Defense, Drains Three – #90
Sexton welcomed the reigning champion Boston Celtics to Delta Center with some nifty handles that left Jazz fans in awe.
After trailing by nine at the half, Sexton scored 10 points in the first five minutes of the half on perfect shooting. He also added an assist and a steal during this stretch.
Through the first two quarters, Sexton was already the Jazz’s leading scorer with 16. But then he became unconscious to start the third.
To make the one-man run even more special, the shots Sexton hit weren’t just fastbreak layups and wide-open jumpers.
He was pulling up from deep and weaving through defenders before ripping the net off the rim.

Jordan Clarkson Spins, Nutmegs, Drops A Dime – #33
Clarkson dealt with his fair share of injuries and other lows last season with the Jazz. But that didn’t stop the flame from embarrassing defenses when he hit the floor.
As Utah hosted Toronto in March, Clarkson brought out his best streetball move. Following a spin, Clarkson put the ball between a Raptor defender’s legs before setting up a KJ Martin layup.
Through three quarters against Toronto, Clarkson posted 12 points, three assists, and two steals.

Keyonte George Skies For Poster Slam In Motor City – #28
Most will agree that the Jazz’s best play of the season came before the new year. The NBA’s list shared that sentiment.
The Jazz went into Detroit on December 19. Utah left with a win, and George left with an unforgettable highlight.
The second-year guard beat Cade Cunningham off the dribble and met 6-foot-10 big man Jalen Duren at the rim. George has shown he can get vertical every now and then, but the slam in Detroit was undoubtedly the best of his young career.
KEYONTE GEORGE DUNK OF THE YEAR 😳
