The 1998–99 NBA season was the Kings' 50th season in the National Basketball Association, and 14th season in Sacramento.[1] During the offseason, the Kings acquired All-Star forward Chris Webber from the Washington Wizards,[2] and signed free agents Vlade Divac, Vernon Maxwell, second-year center Scot Pollard and Jon Barry. Under new head coach Rick Adelman, the Kings improved winning ten of their final eleven games, finishing third in the Pacific Division with a 27–23 record, their first winning season in 16 years. Top draft pick Jason Williams made the All-Rookie First Team. In the first round of the playoffs, the Kings got off to a good start, taking a 2–1 series lead over the 3rd–seeded Utah Jazz. However, the Jazz won Game 4 by one point to even the series and force a decisive fifth game. The Kings would lose Game 5 in overtime 99–92. Following the season, second-year guard Tariq Abdul-Wahad was traded to the Orlando Magic, and Maxwell signed as a free agent with the Seattle SuperSonics.
