When object collide and stick together, Momentum MUST be conserved. However, there's no rule that says Kinetic Energy must be conserved. This is just the case when objects collide and stick together. The Total Momentum before and after the collision is the same, but the Kinetic Energy is necessarily less, having been converted to another form of Energy.

There is no conflict between the two.
