The 1990-91 NBA season was the Jazz's 17th season in the NBA.[1] The Jazz continued to play sweet music in the regular season falling one game short of the Midwest Division title with another stellar record of 54-28, as Karl Malone finished second in the league in scoring and John Stockton led the league in assists again. In the first round of the playoffs, the Jazz defeated the Phoenix Suns in four games, but lost in the semifinals to the Portland Trail Blazers in five games.
