SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson put a spin move on Michael Carter-Williams that left the Magic guard on the floor during Utah’s win over Orlando.
The Magic hosted the Jazz at Amway Center on Saturday, February 27.
With 7:24 left in the game, Clarkson worked his magic one-on-one against Carter-Williams.
The Jazz guard worked in isolation against the former NBA Rookie of the Year before spinning to free himself of the defense.
Clarkson’s move made Carter-Williams look like he was ice skating for the first time as he fell to the hardwood.
