Rising above the odds on home soil, Jordan Clarkson dedicated his mammoth performance to the FIlipino fans who have been supporting Gilas Pilipinas since Day 1.

Clarkson said he is offering his big offensive night to the country which is co-hosting the FIBA Basketball World Cup 2023 along with Japan and Indonesia.

The Utah Jazz star erupted with 34 points that was spiked by five three-pointers, four of which he unloaded during a blistering third-quarter run that all but broke China's momentum.

“Just the country, my grandma, my family and everybody here, they continue to show love,” Clarkson said.

He also paid respect to his teammates who had poured it all in the tournament.

“All my teammates, just enjoying this experience. We don’t know the next time [we’re] gonna be in a locker room with each other, so I just put my hat off to that," Clarkson said.

He also encouraged the fans to keep supporting the team.

"Continue to live with love, keep showing support, and yeah, it's all love," he added.
