Soon, the game started, and Mutombo won the ball for the Jazz.
The ratings for this game were high because it was a direct dialogue between MVP candidates and another challenge to the Magic Team's "no consecutive losses" record for the season.
The Jazz Team on the offense, Karl Malone went straight to the low post and backed Derrick McKey, asking for the ball. There was no doubt that the focus for the Jazz today was to attack the inside. In the last game, the Rockets' three giants had achieved victory by crazily penetrating the inside line without Shaq.
Stockton lobbed the ball to Malone, the Magic Team immediately double-teamed, Karl Malone passed the ball back to Stockton, who then drove to a mid-range position and encountered Roger's help defense.
Seeing this, Stockton immediately passed the ball to Hornacek.
Hornacek shot the ball upon receiving it, but was met not with a score, but with Roger's timely interference!
