The 2012-13 Utah Jazz season was marked by a quest for playoff contention, ultimately falling short with a 43-39 record. The team, coached by Tyrone Corbin, competed in the Western Conference but finished ninth, just missing the playoff cut. The Jazz showcased a balanced roster, but inconsistency plagued their campaign, preventing them from securing a postseason spot.
Utah’s roster was highlighted by a strong frontcourt featuring Al Jefferson and Paul Millsap, both of whom were pivotal in the Jazz’s offensive and defensive schemes. Jefferson led the team in scoring, averaging 17.8 points per game, while Millsap contributed significantly with 14.6 points per game. Young talents like Gordon Hayward and Derrick Favors also showed promise, with Hayward averaging 14.1 points per game, providing a glimpse into the future potential of the team.
Despite their strong home record of 30-11, the Jazz struggled on the road, finishing with a 13-28 record. This disparity was a key factor in their inability to secure a playoff berth. The Jazz faced a pivotal offseason, as both Jefferson and Millsap entered free agency, prompting questions about the team’s direction and the development of younger players.
Overall, the 2012-13 season was a transition period for the Utah Jazz, characterized by competitive play but underscored by missed opportunities and an uncertain future regarding team composition and leadership.
- Regular Season Record: 43-39
