'I think it's been good,' Clayton said about his Summer League experience so far. 'Any time you can win games, I think it's a great thing. The whole experience has been great, and obviously there's been a lot of learning as the days goes on.'
Kyle Filipowski recorded his second straight double-double with 18 points and 15 rebounds, wrapping up a fantastic three-game stretch for the second year player.
Filipowski has come a long way since his first Summer League experience last year as a rookie.
'This last year has been crazy journey for me so far,' Filipowski said. 'It's helped me to get to where I am now. I think it's just helped me grow my confidence going into this Summer League. Those things that I need to focus on and how I can affect the game other than just scoring.'
Elijah Harkless added 11 points, while Isaiah Collier scored 8 points with 6 assists.
Utah had a three-point lead at the half, and led by as many as 18 points in the third quarter. The Thunder stormed back to take an 80-79 lead with under three minutes to play, but Clayton hit his fourth three-ball of the game with 2:31 left to give the Jazz the lead for good.
