Nice find.
Probably the most memorable shot in Jazz history.
Barkley slo-mo blitzed on Malone, behind even a 3pt line- swish by Stockton!
I remember the poor depth on those big 3 late 90s Houton teams and Utah finally kicking the doors to the finals.

Hi Androslav, always great to read your thoughts.

I really liked Stockton as a kid. He combined discipline with imagination. He was lucky he got Malone in his team so his passing game really showed.

Since you mentioned Barkley, this angle focuses nicely on Stockton and Barkley. Malone makes the screen/hug on Drexler, Stockton gets the ball and Barkley is about to start his desperation run.



For anyone interested, here is the whole game. Unfortunately, Houston's last possession has been left out - the uploader says it was this way when he got it.
