Stockton Keeps His Streak Going

NBA

Spokane native John Stockton, who was listed as questionable prior to the game due to a sprained left ankle suffered Thursday, scored 11 points and had 15 assists in 36 minutes, keeping alive an NBA record streak of 464 consecutive games played as the Utah beat Golden State 123-109 at Salt Lake City. Doing the real damage for the Jazz, however, was Karl Malone who finished with 51 points.
