Utah Jazz rout over San Antonio Spurs 126-94 with Jordan Clarkson leading the charge

Jordan Clarkson

Jordan Clarkson displayed his importance with another stellar performance as he knocked 30 points to lead Utah Jazz’s triumph over San Antonio Spurs. Bojan Bogdanovic scored 24 points for the home team as well.  

Bogdanovic helped stake the Jazz to an early lead and Clarkson pushed it out of reach. With Atlanta Hawks’ 135-103 victory over Phoenix Suns, the Utah Jazz reclaimed the No. 1 spot in the NBA and Western Conference playoff race despite the All-Star backcourt of Donovan Mitchell and Mike Conley. 

Jordan Clarkson blasts 30 to ensure Utah Jaz dominate San Antonio Spurs 

Bojan Bogdanovic struggled to regain his touch early in the season and then shot only 36 percent in the month of March. He struggled with consistency on his vaunted 3-point shot as well as converting his drives to the basket.

Lately, it seems the forward from Croatia can’t miss. He went 10 for 13 from the field, 3 for 4 on 3-pointers and has averaged 25.8 points over his last five games. 

The same goes for Jordan Clarkson, who shot 34% in March, but seemed more like the odds-on favorite for the Sixth Man of the Year against San Antonio Spurs. He hit 12 of 16 shots on a variety of floaters, hook shots, layups a 3-pointers. 

Spurs’ DeMar DeRozan had only 6 points, his lowest scoring output since a January 30 loss to Memphis. Trey Lyles and Derrick White sat out with ankle injuries. The Utah Jazz outscored the Spurs 25-6 on fast-break points. No Utah players logged more than 26 minutes.
