They went 1-7 while wearing the jerseys the previous campaign and are 9-0 this year.</p><p>Obviously, we’re just having a bit of fun with this information. On a serious note, Larsen did mention that Utah’s opponents are considerably easier this year while wearing the Statement jerseys. So, don’t get your hopes up too much Jazz fans.

Each collector who joins will be assigned a randomized number (yes, it’s totally random) once the line opens. If you get a number from 140,000 and below then it’s going to be your lucky day. If not, well, get back on the hustle like Gobert and Caruso every game and keep growing your collection.</p><p>In addition, a Giannis Antetokounmpo Hustle &amp; Show Moment has also been minted but it won’t be part of the pack. At this point, it’s all but guaranteed that that’s coming right up in a Hustle &amp; Show challenge after these packs drop.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Rudy Gobert, Alex Caruso show their grit in all-new Hustle and Show Pack

When asked about their performance in crunch time against the Toronto Raptors, Jazz center Rudy Gobert tried to put on his funny guy pants as his squad successfully carved a narrow win over their opponents on Saturday night, via <a href="https://twitter.com/tribjazz/status/1388724764299177987?s=20">Eric Walden</a>.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Rudy Gobert, asked what the Jazz had left in the tank at the end: "Pretty empty — but I’ll go in the gas station tomorrow. … I'm pretty funny."</p><p>— Eric Walden (@tribjazz) <a href="https://twitter.com/tribjazz/status/1388724764299177987?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank">May 2, 2021</a></p></blockquote><p></p></figure><p>You need to come out with stronger material, Rudy. Hopefully he develops his comedic chops to mimic his shot-blocking instincts – effective and perfectly-timed.</p><p>On a more serious note, the Frenchman claimed that they fought for the victory as they refused to lose two consecutive games, especially in the latter stage of the regular season.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Rudy Gobert, on pulling out the win: "This one feels good because it was a fight. Nothing was given to us — we had to go get it."</p><p>— Eric Walden (@tribjazz) <a href="https://twitter.com/tribjazz/status/1388725036324986880?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank">May 2, 2021</a></p></blockquote><p></p></figure><p>Rolling on a two-game losing skid, the Raptors entered the matchup as the clear underdog but they still managed to put up a fight against a more loaded Jazz squad. Toronto got to stick around with their opponents through the first three quarters of the game but was eventually outscored by Utah, 21-13, in the final frame.</p><p>Head coach Quin Snyder and his team held their ground as they escaped with a 106-102 win on their home floor. Jazz forward Bojan Bogdanovic led the way with 34 points while Gobert added a double-double of 13 points and 16 rebounds for the team.</p><p>With the victory, the Jazz managed to get back on the top spot of the Western Conference with a 46-18 record. Seemingly enough, Gobert and his teammates were able to learn from the many errors that they committed on both ends of the floor against the Suns last Friday night.</p><p>Despite <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/sports/nba/utah-jazz/records">being able to regain</a> the No. 1 seed in the West, the Jazz still has to gain enough consistency as they head towards the postseason. Hopefully, by then, they can already play stronger and execute better as they are expected to vie for a long playoff run this season.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
