Jazz fans react to Jordan Clarkson’s drought breaking triple-double
For nearly 16 years, a dubious mark has stood for the Utah Jazz.
February 13, 2008 was the last time a Jazz player notched a triple double in a regular season game, as Carlos Boozer did it against a Seattle SuperSonics franchise that is now known as the Oklahoma City Thunder (incidentally, Ricky Rubio did it in a playoff game for the Jazz against the Thunder in 2018).
The drought is now over, as Jordan Clarkson tallied 20 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds Monday night as the Jazz beat the Dallas Mavericks by 37 points at home.
Clarkson has become one of the most beloved Jazz players over the last several years, and fans and others had quite the reaction on social media Monday night.
Here’s some of the best reaction.

Last thing I'll say about tonight:
It is SO good that the triple double streak didn't get broken by someone like Olynyk or Dunn or *shudders* THT. It has to belong to a true Jazzman.— Mark Russell Pereira (@Mark_R_Pereira) January 2, 2024

So cool to be able to watch the triple double steak be broken. Been more invested in this Jazz season than I have been for years. That is just because I can actually watch the games. Thanks @RyanQualtrics for making games so easy to watch
