1983–84 Utah Jazz season

The 1983–84 NBA season was the Jazz's tenth season in the NBA and its 4th in Utah. The Jazz averaged 115.0 points per game (ranked 5th in NBA) while allowing an average of 113.8 points per game (ranked 20th in NBA).^[1] It was their first playoff appearance in franchise history.

The Jazz played a number of home games (11 in total) at the then-newly built Thomas & Mack Center in the Las Vegas Valley, in an attempt to drum up regional support. In one of those games, Los Angeles Lakers center Kareem Abdul-Jabbar scored the points that made him the NBA's all-time leading scorer.

As a result of the Las Vegas experiment, Jazz games were broadcast in the Las Vegas area for this season (seen above).
