SALT LAKE CITY- Utah Jazz forward Rudy Gay nailed a huge transition three in a tight game down the stretch against the Washington Wizards.

The Jazz hosted the Wizards at Vivint Arena on Saturday, December 18.

Jordan Clarkson knocked down a pass intended for Montrezl Harrell, then saved it from going out of bounds, starting a fast break opportunity. On the other end, Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell found Gay in the corner where he knocked down the shot to bring the Jazz within one, 89-88.

The shot spurred an 8-0 Jazz run.

Gay came into the game averaging nine points, three rebounds, and one assist per game. He is shooting 44 percent from the field and 39.4 percent from three.

Utah’s game against Washington is broadcast on AT&T SportsNet, NBA League Pass, and The Zone Sports Network.
