Cavs: Jordan Clarkson excels against South Korea

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Jordan Clarkson is representing the Philippines national team, Gilas Pilipinas, for the first time in his pro career.

After an excellent debut for the Philippines in the 2018 Asian Games, Clarkson continued to turn heads in his second appearance, attacking the South Korea defense with ferocity and keeping his team in the game.

He scored 25 points, grabbed 8 rebounds and handed out 3 dimes on Monday, while playing a team-high 35 minutes.

While he led a furious comeback in his debut that came up just short, he had a similar heroic effect in his second game.
