Malone, Stockton: Couple of tough guys

Feb 27, 2003 3:01 PM EST

Nobody knows for sure whether the Utah Jazz's ageless wonders, Karl Malone and John Stockton, executed their final pick-and-roll at Target Center on Wednesday, but Timberwolves coach Flip Saunders said their legacy as teammates is already secure.

"I don't think you'll ever see two Hall of Fame players, drafted by the same team, staying together the whole time," he said. "They are just extremely competitive, and their passion for the game is why they keep doing it."

But for how much longer? Malone and Stockton have not said publicly whether this season, their 18th as NBA teammates, will be their last.

Jazz can't hit; T'Wolves can

Feb 27, 2003 2:58 PM EST

Considering their icy cold record against the Jazz this season, the Minnesota Timberwolves seemed due for a little wake-up call from their dreamy success of late.

Minnesota, after all, had won four straight prior to Wednesday night — its last loss coming Feb. 17 at Utah. The Timberwolves had won 14 in a row at Target Center — their last loss at home coming Jan. 4 to Utah. The Jazz also won the other game between the two at the Delta Center this season, sending them to Minneapolis this time in search of a series sweep. So much for precedent.
