After the screen, Stockton skillfully passed the ball to Malone at mid-range.
Malone lifted the basketball, and Derrick McKey immediately began to interfere.
But Malone didn't shoot; after faking out McKey, he dribbled toward the paint.
The Magic's defense quickly contracted, including Roger who also rushed towards Malone.
Malone saw Hornacek open, but this time he didn't pass.
Hornacek had just missed a wide-open shot, which had eroded Malone's trust in him.
Karl Malone held no grudge against Hornacek, but going 0-for-8 in the game was a bit much. Anyone, any star player who has some responsibility, wouldn't entrust the ball in a crucial moment to a teammate who was off his game.
Tonight, even his daughter wouldn't trust his shot!
Besides, the Magic's interior was now defended by Travis Knight, a promising scoring opportunity.
