Tipoff was pushed back an hour Thursday night to accommodate national television audience.

The Jazz started even later than that.

Trailing by 15 points at halftime, Utah finally showed some life in the third quarter, when Matt Harpring and Karl Malone combined for 28 points.

The Jazz outscored the Seattle SuperSonics 34-11 in the period to take an eight-point lead, then rolled from there to a 92-85 victory at the Delta Center.
