KISSIMMEE, Fla. — If there is anything that the Utah Jazz have learned this season, it is that adversity can be unifying.
That’s not always the case. Sometimes adversity can be the straw that breaks the camel’s back, a tipping point that leads to irrevocable damage. That could have happened to this Jazz team, but the players wouldn’t let it.
“There’s been a lot of adversity,” Rudy Gobert said Tuesday night. “Not just for me but for all of us as a team, for the rest of the world, too. It’s been an interesting few months. I’m really proud of the way we’ve been able to handle that as a team, as human beings.
