Jason Kidd is a fantastic NBA player, quick, smart and talented, perhaps a Hall of Famer some day. But when do-it-all superstars decide the outcome of games, here's a lesson the New Jersey guard learned Monday night: Two is better than one.
   
Kidd scored 33 points, grabbed 13 rebounds and made play after play to help the Nets stay close in a building where they rarely do. Yet the superstar-on-the-rise was trumped by the Jazz's pair of superstars-on-the-wane, Karl Malone and John Stockton, who parried every Kidd thrust with clutch plays of their own, finally finishing with an intense 106-103 overtime victory in the Delta Center.
   
Last season, Kidd sent the Nets into overtime and to their first victory in Utah in eight years with a heroic three-pointer at the buzzer. This time, Kidd stood helplessly as Malone pulled down an offensive rebound and looped in the tying basket with just six-tenths of a second left in regulation. Then with New Jersey having one last chance to tie the game in overtime, Kidd's three-pointer in traffic bounced away, leaving the Nets to complain about the no-call that preserved Utah's seventh straight home-court victory.
