2015–16 Utah Jazz season

The 2015–16 Utah Jazz season was the 42nd season of the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA), and the 37th season of the franchise in Salt Lake City.[1] Utah missed the playoffs for the fourth year in a row thanks to a win and a tiebreaker win by the Houston Rockets, but remained in playoff contention until before the final regular season game in which would be Kobe Bryant's last NBA game.
