In the playoffs, the Jazz defeated the Denver Nuggets in six games in the First Round, before getting swept by the eventual and back-to-back NBA champion, the Los Angeles Lakers, in the Semi-finals. This marked the third consecutive season the Jazz had their season ended by the Lakers.
Game 4 of the conference semi-finals was Jerry Sloan's final playoff appearance as head coach as he resigned the next season. Following the season, both Carlos Boozer and Kyle Korver signed as free agents with the Chicago Bulls. Also this was Deron Williams' final full season with the Jazz as he was traded to the New Jersey Nets the following February.
The Jazz would not return to the playoffs until 2012.
