Rookie center Greg Ostertag shares a moment of warmth and humor with a sore Karl Malone during the final quarter of Sunday's playoff game between the Utah Jazz and Portland Trail Blazers. The Jazz won, 102-64, advancing Utah to the second round to play the San Antonio Spurs. The Spurs host Game 1 of the best-of-7 matchup Tuesday. "From tipoff to the buzzer, it was the best game we've played all season," Malone said. "It also was a great game for us after all the things that are said about us getting old," the 32-year-old power forward added. "It was a nice way to end it." D1
