LAS VEGAS, Nev. - - Former Belmont men's basketball standout Ian Clark (Memphis, Tenn.) helped the Golden State Warriors defeat the Washington Wizards Saturday in day two of Las Vegas NBA Summer League.
After leading the Miami Heat in scoring, steals, three-point field goals, three-point field goal percentage and minutes played en route to Second Team honors at the Orlando NBA Summer League this past week, Clark shouldered a quick turnaround in joining the Warriors for play Saturday.
Clark, who played 36 minutes for Miami yesterday in Orlando, arrived in Las Vegas late Friday night for this week's action at the Cox Pavilion on the UNLV campus.?
As expected, Clark saw limited action early, logging three minutes in the opening three quarters. But the 6-3 combo guard played the final seven minutes, helping the Warriors turn the tide.
And while the box score won't jump out at Clark fans, the 2013 AP All-American and Naismith Player of the Year candidate made a series of solid plays that were vital to the Golden State cause.
On consecutive possessions in the final 1:27, Clark set up Draymond Green for free throw attempts, that gave the Warriors a 53-52 lead.
Clark then forced Glen Rice, Jr. into a difficult, off-balance jumpshot that missed. From there, Clark broke a double team of Washington full-court pressure that enabled Dwayne Jones to slam and push the lead to three.
He then tipped the ball away from Rice, Jr. on a baseline drive, forcing a turnover, and moments later secured the victory with one free throw with eight seconds remaining.
The Memphis native posted a plus/minus score of +10, which was tied for tops on the team.
Golden State, who was down six with six minutes to play, ended the game on a 17-7 run to seal the 56-52 victory.?
Clark and his Warrior teammates will be back in action this Monday as they face Sacramento at 7:30pm CT. Live coverage will provided on NBA TV and NBA Summer League Live.
