Collin Sexton scored 16 points, John Collins and Walker Kessler each had 10 and Kris Dunn added a season-high 13 assists as the Jazz posted their second straight road win. Utah is 4-13 away from home. “We’ve been struggling on the road a little bit this year,” Clarkson said. “It just feels good to get a win, keep it going.” Markkanen returned after missing Thursday’s win at Detroit because of a sore left hamstring, while Clarkson was available again after missing six games because of a sore right hamstring. “It didn’t feel like he’d been gone for a while,” Jazz coach Will Hardy said of Clarkson. “The way that he was playing, I thought he really meshed well with his teammates.” Clarkson shot 11 for 22, making 5 of 10 attempts

Despite that, the Panthers were clearly the team more ready for this game, flying out to a hot start on offense and quickly adjusting on defense. Georgia State’s hot start on offense
