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.[1] 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. Following the season, Karl Malone signed as a free agent with the Los Angeles Lakers. The Jazz would not return to the playoffs until 2007.
