As far as sporting terminology goes, to choke is to fail or lose. "Clutch" describes a very important or critcal situation or a player who performs well in critical situations.
The entire season came to this "clutch" throw of the ball. The coach, afraid his team would "choke" and lose the game, called in Mark Jones, his "clutch" pitcher, who usually won when he carried the game on his shoulders.
