The 1993–94 NBA season was the Jazz's 20th season in the National Basketball Association, and 15th season in Salt Lake City, Utah.[1] During the off-season, the Jazz signed free agent All-Star forward Tom Chambers,[2][3][4] and acquired Felton Spencer from the Minnesota Timberwolves.[5][6][7] The Jazz played competitive basketball with a 22–8 start, but then lost five of their next six games, and held a 31–18 record at the All-Star break.[8] At midseason, the team traded Jeff Malone to the Philadelphia 76ers in exchange for Jeff Hornacek.[9][10][11] With the addition of Hornacek, the Jazz posted a ten-game winning streak between February and March, and won nine of their final eleven games finishing third in the Midwest Division with a 53–29 record.[12] They made their eleventh consecutive trip to the playoffs.[13]

John Stockton led the league in assists for the seventh straight season, as Karl Malone joined the list in all-time points scored topping the 19,000 point mark. Stockton averaged 15.1 points, 12.6 assists and 2.4 steals per game, while Malone averaged 25.2 points, 11.5 rebounds and 1.5 blocks per game, Chambers provided the team with 11.2 points per game off the bench, and Spencer contributed 8.6 points and 8.3 rebounds per game.[14] Both Stockton and Malone were named to the All-NBA First Team, and selected for the 1994 NBA All-Star Game.[15][16][17][18][19] Malone also finished tied in seventh place in Most Valuable Player voting.[20]

In the Western Conference First Round of the playoffs, the Jazz lost Game 1 to the 4th-seeded San Antonio Spurs on the road, 106–89,[21][22][23] but managed to win the next three games, thus the series.[24][25][26][27] In the Western Conference Semi-finals, they took a 3–0 series lead over the 8th-seeded Denver Nuggets.[28][29][30] However, the Jazz would lose the next three games to the Nuggets,[31][32][33] then finally win Game 7 and advance to the next round.[34][35][36][37] In the Western Conference finals, they lost in five games to the Houston Rockets.[38][39][40][41] The Rockets would go on to defeat the New York Knicks in seven games in the NBA Finals, winning their first ever championship.[42][43][44][45][46]

Following the season, Tyrone Corbin was traded to the Atlanta Hawks,[47][48][49] and Mark Eaton retired after missing the entire season with a back injury.[50][51]
