One of the many parts of what make the Utah Jazz stand out as an NBA franchise is the dedicated and passionate fanbase the team has had over their 50-year history. While the team's attendance statistics across the past couple of decades have been able to reflect this, a new stat the team shared on their socials shows the on-court impact this has as well.

According to a post from the Jazz's Instagram story on Monday, they shared that this season marked the 39th winning season at home, now tied for the most seasons with a home record over .500 in NBA history.

This really puts into perspective how well the Jazz are playing on their own floor. There's plenty of other teams in the league that have over a 20-year head start on the Jazz considering the league's been established for over 75 years.

While struggling on the road this season with an overall 14-27 record playing away this season, the team maintained a respectable 23-18 record while playing in Utah. The last time the Jazz failed to reach an over .500 record at home during the 2013-14 season when they were dead last in the West. That's nine straight seasons of over .500 basketball in Utah.

The Jazz will look to continue this streak during the 2023-24 season after what will seemingly be a turbulent, but exciting offseason to improve the squad.
