The first time, Matt Harpring set a screen for Karl Malone, then stepped back, accepted a John Stockton pass and buried an open 21-foot jumper.

The next, Harpring set his pick for Malone, then curled into the lane to take yet another Stockton pass, hitting the jumper again, this one from about nine feet out.
     
The latter gave the Jazz a 93-88 lead on Boston with 48.6 seconds to go in an eventual 95-91 Delta Center victory over the Celtics on Monday night, helping Utah win for the fourth straight time, improve to 41-29 and maintain its hold on sixth place in the NBA's Western Conference standings.
     
But perhaps more importantly than all of that, it confirmed what Jazz coach Jerry Sloan has been harping on so much lately.
