The ledger
Hayward, Gobert, Mitchell (2011–2022)2020–21 Utah Jazz
The 47th season for the franchise and the 42nd in Salt Lake City was the best regular season the Jazz have ever had. They opened with an NBA-best and franchise-record 23–5 run and never let go of the top of the standings. The 52–20 finish worked out to roughly a 59-win pace over a full 82 games, was the club's highest winning percentage since 1998–99 and its first 52-win season since 2009–10. It was also the first time the Jazz had finished atop their conference since 1997–98.
21 in, 15 out. Every move the record shows for this season, with the reason where a source gives one. Where no reason is documented, the entry says nothing rather than guess.
