I'm almost positive this is the game I want to see. If I recall correctly, this game ended with a fairly dramatic steal by Jeff Malone on an inbounds play with about two seconds remaining where he scored the winning lay-up as time expired.

I remember going ballistic at the finish like I had seen the Miracle on Ice crossed with watching Frank Dux's final Kumite match against Chong Li. Given that I was eight and probably wearing John Stockton pajamas at the time, this is unsuprising.

Anyway, if anyone has a copy of this game (I'm looking at prodigy) or knows where to get a copy I'd appreciate it.
 
3-pointers attempted:
Jazz, 4
Sonics, 3

Different times. The tape would be worth it just to see Delaney Rudd. That guy was all sorts of amazing. But mostly the crappy sorts.
 
Ok. So I knew this was a longshot.

Does anyone else even remember this game, or am I the lone jazzfan who recalls what was probably Jeff Malone's single greatest moment in a Jazz uniform?
 
Most memorable Jeff Malone shot for me was the sixteen footer from the right corner to win a game for the Jazz.

It was the Rodney Rodgers three threes in nine seconds game. Jazz couldn't inbound twice. Did on the third with like six seconds left and Denver still decided to press after the third three took the lead.

Here are the nine points:

At the end, you see J. Malone running down the near side of the screen. He kept on that line until Stockton fed him for the jumper.
 
I certainly remember this game.

Ok. Was it as epic as I remember, or was I just 8?

I have a really specific memory of Jeff Malone picking off an inbounds pass at halfcourt and having no one in front of him as he coasted in for the game-winning lay-up. I also remember being utterly convinced we were going to lose the game until that play happened. He might as well have delivered a baby at center court while juggling chainaws.

This is Jeff Malone's most famous shot: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AT4DuvJ9yPg

I knew someone would bring this up, which is why I tried to qualify it as his best moment in a Utah Jazz uniform rather than the best moment of his whole career.

I don't have this game but i do have one of jeff malone's best performances in a jazz uniform that i've been wanting to make a highlight video on just haven't found the time.

Yeah, I was intrigued by this, so I looked at box scores from the other games. On average, most teams were shooting about 7 3pters a game. Now it's about 7 per quarter...oh hell, who am I turning into, carolinaJazz?! dammit.
