Adam Keefe and Karl Malone combined for 60 points in a nail-biting 101-99 Utah Jazz victory over the Golden State Warriors. Keefe had four points and Malone had 56, including a driving, six-foot one-hander with 2.2 seconds remaining.

It was the fourth-best individual scoring game in Jazz history.

The following night Malone elbowed David Robinson in a 98-88 victory over the San Antonio Spurs and was suspended for a game.
