NBA professional basketball team season
The 2020–21 Utah Jazz season was the 47th season of the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA), and the 42nd season of the franchise in Salt Lake City.
The Utah Jazz clinched a playoff berth for the fifth straight year; they were the first team of the season to do so, following the Memphis Grizzlies' victory over the Portland Trail Blazers on April 25.[1]
It was their first season finishing atop their conference since the 1997–98 season, and they had their highest win percentage since the 1998–99 season. Their 52–20 record approximately equals 59 wins in a full 82-game season. Additionally, despite the shortened season, it was their first season with 52 or more wins since the 2009–10 season.
In the first round, the Jazz defeated the Memphis Grizzlies in five games advancing to the conference semifinals where they faced the Los Angeles Clippers. The Jazz would lose in six games.
