May 29, 1997, is a big date in Utah Jazz history.
John Stockton's tie-breaking, buzzer-beating trey in Game 6 of the Western Conference finals against the Houston Rockets, sent the team to its first of two consecutive NBA Finals.
Some notable things going on in this clip: Then-NBC broadcaster Bill Walton's "uh-oh" to Stockton finding himself open off the inbounds pass. Also, Charles Barkley's slow closeout attempt on the fellow Hall of Famer.
