With a mediocre 36–30 record, the Jazz made the playoffs for the first time since 2010 without Jerry Sloan, who retired last year. However, the Jazz were quickly eliminated from the playoffs as they were overpowered by the San Antonio Spurs, who swept them in four games.

The Jazz would not return to the playoffs until 2017.
