The undrafted guard finished by shooting 9-of-12 from the field, including a perfect 5-of-5 from 3-point range in the loss. He also dished out a career-high nine assists and seven rebounds, nearly recording his first professional triple-double.
Clemons showed off his deep range throughout the contest, often pulling up from well behind the 3-point line. He used his quickness and agility to drive to the basket and initiate offense for the Vipers.
Clemons has 11 appearances this season with the Vipers after spending much of the season in the NBA with the Rockets.
The former Campbell guard is averaging 24.3 points, 5.3 assists and 3.3 rebounds with the Vipers while shooting 39.6% from the field. He recorded a career-high 40 points on Jan. 5 against the Austin Spurs.
