SALT LAKE CITY – Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson hung in the air before hitting a floater during Utah’s game against the Golden State Warriors.
The Jazz hosted the Warriors at Vivint Arena on Saturday, January 1.
With 6:40 left in the fourth quarter, Clarkson drove into the paint before jumping into the air. The reigning NBA Sixth Man of the Year pushed a shot towards the rim from 11-feet out. The shot sailed through the cylinder for two points.
Clarkson’s shot gave Utah a 101-98 lead.
Jordan's 47th game of 20 points or more off the bench since being traded to the Jazz on Christmas Eve 2019.

After the bucket, the Missouri product had 20 points and four rebounds in 24 minutes of action.
It’s the 47th time that Clarkson has scored 20 or more points off the bench since the Jazz acquired him via trade two seasons ago.
This season, Clarkson is averaging 15.0 points per contest on 38.7 percent shooting.
Utah’s game against Golden State is broadcast on AT&T SportsNet, NBA TV, and The Zone Sports Network.
