2002–03 Utah Jazz season
The 2002-03 Utah Jazz season was the team's 29th in the NBA. They began the season hoping to improve upon their 44-38 output from the previous season. They bested it by three games, finishing 47-35, and qualified for the playoffs for the twentieth straight season. This was John Stockton's last season in the NBA. The Jazz once again failed to make it out of the first round, losing to the Sacramento Kings in five games. It was Karl Malone's final season in Utah as he signed with the Los Angeles Lakers in the off-season, ending his 18-year career with the Jazz. The Lakers made the NBA Finals in 2004 while he was on the roster, but lost in five games to the Detroit Pistons. After spending his only season with the Lakers, Malone retired during the 2004-05 NBA season. The Jazz didn't return to the playoffs until 2007, where they reached the Western Conference Finals. However, they were unable to stop the San Antonio Spurs in five games. San Antonio would go on to win its fourth NBA Championship.
