SALT LAKE CITY – Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson completed a three-point play after a pump fake forced a foul during Utah’s game against the San Antonio Spurs.
The Spurs hosted the Jazz at AT&T Center on Monday, December 27.
With 6:49 left in the fourth quarter, Clarkson pushed the pause button in the paint and got San Antonio’s Devin Vassell to leap into the air. Vassell created contact with Clarkson, who jumped towards the background for a layup.
After the shot, Clarkson completed the three-point play at the charity stripe.
