The 2001-02 Utah Jazz season was the team's 28th in the NBA. They began the season hoping to improve upon their 53-29 output from the previous season. They came nine wins shy of tying it, finishing 44-38, but qualified for the playoffs for the nineteenth straight season.[1] The Jazz did beat the Los Angeles Lakers' record of sixteen consecutive winning seasons[2] set between 1976–77 and 1991–92. They lost to the Sacramento Kings in the first round of the playoffs.
