UTAH AT SEATTLE
Key Arena

The illustrious Jazz combo of John Stockton and Karl Malone clashes with the Sonics duet of Gary Payton and Vin Baker in a huge Western Conference matchup. Utah has won two of three from Seattle this season, including a 111-91 rout at Key Arena in the teams' last meeting, on Feb. 14. At week's end, however, Seattle was tied with Utah, one half game behind Chicago, in the race for the NBA's best record—and home court advantage throughout the playoffs. If they lose again to the Jazz, the Sonics will be singing the blues.
