On a Friday night when agent Dwight Manley declared that Karl Malone likely would finish his career in Utah, the Jazz finished off the Los Angeles Clippers.
   
Malone scored 29 points despite sitting out the final six minutes with a hyperextended right knee. Donyell Marshall added 29 more as the Jazz won consecutive games for the first time all season by routing the Clippers, 102-86.
   
Elton Brand scored 25 points for Los Angeles, but the Clippers could not overcome 41-percent shooting or a second-half rush by the Jazz. Utah went from a 59-50 deficit midway through the third quarter to an 83-70 lead early in the fourth.
   
"Karl Malone had a tremendous run right there," Jazz coach Jerry Sloan said. "With the pick-and-roll, we made some good decisions. . . . That got us going."
