Karl Malone got all the points he needed Saturday night to hit the 35,000 career-points plateau.
     
Unfortunately for Malone, who shot only 1-of-16 from the field and scored just seven, San Antonio made a pretty big point of its own on the evening of his milestone achievement.
     
And that is this: The Spurs have Utah's number, and those with the Jazz seem to know it.
     
San Antonio kicked Utah 107-85 at the SBC Center, sending the Jazz's winning streak to a screeching halt at six straight and pushing the 11-7 Spurs' dominance over coach Jerry Sloan's club to 10 wins in a row now.
     
"We played like it was a mental thing ? when you play like you're about half-scared," Sloan said after the Jazz, who have not beaten San Antonio since February of 2000, fell to 9-8 this season. "We go in there to make layups, and we throw the ball over the basket, we throw it short of the basket - I'd say . . . they've got us pretty well intimidated."
