2011–12 Utah Jazz season - Misplaced Pages

The 2011–12 Utah Jazz season is the franchise's 38th overall in the National Basketball Association (NBA), and the 33rd season of the franchise in Salt Lake City.

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.
