So, what exactly does the idiom ‘to come through a clutch’ mean? Here is the dialogue I’ve came across it:

“So, I know it’s been a beat, but I just wanted to say thank you for savin’ my ass. You came through a clutch”.

Given the context, it probably means something like “You risked a lot / put your life on the line for me”.
