The Jazz returned home from a five-game trip looking tired and old, yet it was their younger players for the most part who were no-shows Tuesday night.

Seventeen-year veteran Karl Malone, 38, had a game-high 22 points for Utah on 10-for-16 shooting.

Eighteen-year veteran John Stockton, who turns 40 next Tuesday, added 20 points for the Jazz and was 6-for-11 from the field.

The rest of the team shot just 31 percent, with youngsters Jarron Collins, Scott Padgett and Rusty LaRue a combined 2-for-15.

""We just didn"t seem to have any energy to be able to run the floor," Jazz coach Jerry Sloan said.
