Jerry Sloan had his team back home where it seldom loses in the Delta Center.
And Karl Malone would make himself right at home on the left side, hitting
one of his patented fadeaway jump shots.
But Hakeem Olajuwan knows a little bit about dropping in those type of shots
and he answers the Mailman on the other baseline.
But back come the Jazz - Malone to SUPER=32-Houston/91/Utah/96/Game Five;
John Stockton for the 3, and Utah wins
96 to 91 to take a 3 games to 2 lead in the series.
