Utah's John Stockton is lifted on the shoulders of his teammates after sinking a 3-point shot at the buzzer to beat the Houston Rockets 103-100 in Game 6 of the Western Conference Finals Thursday, May 29, 1997, in Houston.
As he was dribbling it, I knew the game was over. It's just a feeling you get. He makes that shot all the time. It was automatic.
"I think that was one of the highlights of Utah’s history."
That statement from Jazz owner Gail Miller might sound dramatic, but if you ask local sports fans, the buzzer-beating, game-winning jumper John Stockton made at The Summit in Houston on May 29, 1997, certainly ranks up there among highlights in Utah's history with Brigham Young declaring “This is the right place,” the world agreeing with that sentiment after the 2002 Winter Olympics and Arctic Circle inventing fry sauce.
