The 1994–95 NBA season was the Jazz's 21st season in the National Basketball Association, and 16th season in Salt Lake City, Utah.^[1] During the offseason, the Jazz signed free agent Antoine Carr and acquired Adam Keefe from the Atlanta Hawks. In a year of milestones, John Stockton became the NBA's all-time assist leader passing Magic Johnson with 9,921 on his way to a record tying eighth straight assist title. Meanwhile, Karl Malone and Tom Chambers each passed the 20,000 point mark in their careers, as the Jazz posted a 14–1 record in January including a 14-game winning streak. At midseason, the team re-acquired former Jazz guard Blue Edwards from the Boston Celtics. The Jazz won their final seven games finishing second in the Midwest Division with a 60–22 record. Malone and Stockton were both selected for the 1995 NBA All-Star Game.

In the first round of the playoffs, the Jazz took a 2–1 series lead over the 6th-seeded Houston Rockets, but went on to lose the series in five games.^[2] Following the season, Chambers left to play in Israel, Edwards left in the 1995 NBA Expansion Draft, and James Donaldson retired.
