Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson bagged another highlight to add to his growing résumé with a nasty poster dunk over Toronto Raptors forward Freddie Gillespie.
Before punching home the big throw-down, Clarkson showcased his slick handles to dispatch Raptors wing Yuta Watanabe on his way to the rim.

Leave it up there, Jordan Clarkson.
The Jazz got a huge victory on Saturday night, as they surged past the Raptors, 106-102. The win gave Utah the temporary lead atop the West and league standings, after losing the top spot to the Suns on Friday.
Clarkson didn't shoot very well from the field on Saturday. He went 6-of-18 overall and drained just one triple en route to 15 points off the bench. Nevertheless, the Jazz still managed to squeeze by Toronto despite being without their All-Star backcourt in Mike Conley and Donovan Mitchell.
Forward Bojan Bogdanovic carried the load for Utah in the absence of Mitchell and Conley, and amid Clarkson's struggles from the floor. The Croatian wing led the way for the Jazz with a game-high 34 points, to go along with four rebounds and four assists.
Utah looks to finish strong in the regular season with the no. 1 seed in the conference still up for grabs. That will be easier said than done if they're still going to be without their two All-Star guards. Clarkson and Bogdanovic will have to carry the offense until those two return.
