In a resounding victory over the Dallas Mavericks, Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson put an end to the 5,801-day triple-double drought and welcomed the New Year with a bang.
The Jazz dominated the game, defeating their Western Conference rival with a score of 127-90, marking the largest win during the tenure of coach Will Hardy.
Jeremy Clarkson finished with 20 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists, causing for the fans to go crazy after collecting his 10th and final rebound in garbage time.
Warum Jordan Clarksons Garbage Time Rebound von Fans gefeiert wurde wie ein Playoff-Win?
Es war der Rebound zum ersten Jazz Triple Double nach 5801 Tagen. Denn am 13.2.2008 holte Carlos Boozer das bis dahin letzte Triple Double eines Jazz Spielers in der Regular Season. #NBA pic.twitter.com/j8NfOv98Dr

Prior to Clarkson, it was Carlos Boozer who last accomplished a regular-season triple-double for the Jazz on February 13, 2008, in a match against the Seattle SuperSonics.
For the sake of completeness: Ricky Rubio had a triple double for the Jazz in 2018 . this however, came in a playoff game against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
