Worthy came up hobbling after hitting on the Baseline Drive Lakers with a four-point lead Jordan changed his spine and found Grant he was able to hang and extend in midair Jordan yes and it counts pipping off the dribble yes the jump shot has not been falling

Pippin and the foul called on the Lakers he has not been a consistent free throw shooter although he has improved in in recent years up to 71% for the season clutch foul shooting by Scotty Pippen and it’s the Bulls 91 the Lakers 89 Bulls by two you see the clock running
Down and Perkins goes for three he’s got it he went for the shot from downtown to take the lead Jordan is down in the paint being guarded by Worthy P must get it and he does and here is Jordan three seconds remaining and let’s see what the call is Jordan riing the basket
The foul against Chicago right after this shot attempt Jordan knows that he had it he’s not going to get much better chance disappointed in the fact that it rolled out right now after this free throw attempt no timeouts left the Lakers need to jam the guy who takes it
Out so he doesn’t get a chance to see on the long pass two-point Laker lead conri will toss it in here here’s Pippen from Center Court he fires it and he hit the back of the rim and that is it the Los Angeles Lakers steal game one from the
Chicago Bulls the Chicago Bulls admit that this is the biggest game of their basketball lives and they control the opening TI here’s Pippen off the fake on worthy and Grand thr it away from Devas Paxton around Perkins and it’s a goal pass the pass to couch Perkin and deox is right there getting
The good position here’s Pippen getting it back out and you get the idea that Michael is looking to Dish it off here at the start he is not looking for the shot opportunities worthy beating the blls down and the Lakers take a 4-2 lead here’s C right got the
Step and he’s tied it at four spots off a beautiful feed by Magic something you’ve heard us mentioned a number of times the hands of L divot an excellent catch that time of a pass that AC was a little bit too long what a pass from
Jordan and Grant has tied it at six Grant coming over momentarily to help on Magic who now is attempting to post up on Jordan Jordan got the help and Magic gave it up he has Byron Scott open and that is a three-pointer Byron Scott did not get the shot opportunities in game
One was only one for four from the field pipping off the steel fortunate that he was not called for the turnover and C right has cut the Laker lead to 98 Jordan backing Scott yes he hits on his first field goal attempt the Alo did not

Has tied it at 14 Pippen and the lane closed here’s Grant good defensive sequence by the Lakers but haris Grant looking to come back strong he admitted that he was very nervous for game one on Sunday not happy with his play as we come up on 5 minutes left first quarter
Well Pippen went for the steel and worthy took advantage and Grant did rotate on the Baseline that time problem too late hon providing an 18-6 lead and you can see in this first quarter that Michael Jord there’s deot beating his man and the game is tied at 18 no
Question that the Bulls philosophy though is to get everyone involved Jordan has attempted only one shot and he hit it pien on the reverse and the balls have a 20 18 lead good look by worthy but Jordan over for the block here’s Grant strong Move On devop

Suddenly the Chicago pressure providing problems for the L and here they come off the steel they have the numbers devot remaining of the back court Williams H the Bulls lead by 16 points devot hit on the reach in and devot and Williams have some word well they call
It a a jump ball with Paxton able to tie it up here’s Pippen the Bulls have exploded here in the third Magic Johnson with 10 points however in a situation that has developed here with the Chicago Bulls now up by 14 Lakers have to get the shots up a little bit more frequently
Than the other day Paxon again make it eight for eight for John Paxon when Jordan scored the 46 that was the the one loss in the series to the Sexes Jordan the G he has 24 half minute to go in the third Jordan finding Pippen it’s the blls 86 and the Lakers 69 magic getting it down L to devot body devot with a good catch he now has [Applause] 16 Michael Jordan yes Michael Jordan make it 12 for 14 26 points and here’s Jordan going for 12 he’s got a 12 straight field goals from Michael Jordan

To find a way to miss shot instead of taking the easy one he tries to make it hard and still comes up he saying to the fans I love it the tongue is out something bad about to happen to the Lakers it’s Michael Jordan taking off
For the deuce it almost looked as if he remembered the slam dunk competition from a few years ago and starts out with the flying one hander and says no no no I used that one already to win the slam dunk let me change up and entertain a
Little bit right now woo he liked it himself pH Jackson I kind of like having that guy on my team Scott Williams an observer and he can’t believe it Michael Jordan has hit his last 13 field goal attempts during the course of regular season play Will Chamberlain
Once went 15 for 15 in a game against the LA Lakers that was back in January of 67 that was in one game 15 for 15 Jordan has not been perfect as he missed two early worthy now has 22 in the blls with a 9773 lead Jordan
Yes well he had the audacity to miss one shot and he comes right back he is 15 for 18 for 33 points and he’s at 14 of his last 15 the tip by Magic Johnson the Chicago calls with a burst in the third quarter smar by Jordan here’s Pippen the Bulls now lead
101 77 Lakers spreading it out looking for a shot and still not able to locate one green and he hits from downtown AC was one for nine prior to that shot I’m sure Chicago will live with that their defense was very very good in game one it’s been even
Better in game two tenacious aggressive the entire evening RIS Grant has had a a splendid game he’s 10 for 13 20 points Livingston off off the Steel and Scotty piffet extends to a 25 point B the Chicago blls have tied the series at 1 and one they have defeated the Los Angeles Lakers by the score of 107 to 86 two in Chicago Wednesday night the Bulls in a blowout 10786 sparked by Jordan overall 15 of 18
From the field and at one point he hit 13 in a row the Bulls control the tip magic guarding Jord who’s able to convert on his first field goal attack and the question is answered immediately Michael Jordan picking up Magic Johnson in the back court pressuring him out here and I I would
Think that Phil Jackson will play it the same way saw Jordan on him and then change somewhere along the line ice fake by Devas who has come up strong in the playoffs Jordan goes to the hoop on the back tap Pippen keeps it alive here is Paxton oh he is on fire8
For eight the other night in Chicago Michael Jordan picking up the early fouls and going up against Magic Johnson the other night Scotty Pippen did a terrific job against magic worthy yes game tied at four magic checking the floor looking for the break did not see it
Magic spinning and then dumping off to Devon it counts and the foul cartright not the touch he was looking for but Grant is right there Lakers leaded by the score of 76 here’s Grant and now we see Byron Scott bringing the ball up the floor against the pressure he’ll make the entry pass
In treating Scott almost as the point guard now imagine as the off guard posting up down low magic looking to get into it offensively early that’s his first field goal Lakers lead by three Paxton yes John Paxton again Lakers with a one-point lead now worthy posting
Pippen oh fling shot worthy able to go glass and he’s extended to a three-point lead Lakers have hit five of five from the field Grant taking advantage of the overplay by devot but the Lakers have a much different mindset now on offense than they had in game two they
Understand that the ball will be taken out of Magic’s hands the next person who catches the pass from Magic must Advance it take it up the floor and then get him into their offense worthy angling for the excellent position against Pippen magri spinning and hitting beautiful move by Magic Johnson
And Jordan hits from long range his second field goal he’s two out of five nice ball movement Paxon locating Pippen taking advantage of the Lakers double keeman here is Byron Scott a rare instant of daylight for Scott Jordan from downtown Michael Jordan with a three pointer again magic looking to put a
Move on Jordan the help came over and Magic able to find Perkins and that’s the second man Deo is the first option when he flashes across if he’s taken by a defensive player on a rotation then the second man Perkins flashes right in behind him here’s Jordan yes well

[Applause] championship and Michael Jordan has answered a couple of questions there have been doubters over the years whether a team led by Jordan could win a championship and it is so rare for a team that has a scoring champion To Go the Distance anyone who ever questioned whether Michael Jordan was willing to
Give up sacrifice for a championship was completely wrong it was a case that Jordan is such a great winner such a great competitor and wandered so badly in the early stages he took maybe too much upon himself but only trying to win because he knew The Supporting Cast had
Not developed yet but once they stepped up their level of play the Pippen moving to a new level cauri doing the job in the middle Paxton knocking out the open shots and then Grant blossoming into the player he did then Jordan was willing to spread the wealth around Michael what
Does it mean to you it means so much I mean not just for me but for the team and for the whole city it’s been a sevene struggle I mean when I first got into Chicago we started at the bottom and every year we just worked harder and

Same as gretler well he has chosen to look for the three here in the first quarter that time he passed it up and hits the two man not coming to meet the basketball against this Chicago team he can’t wait for the ball to come to you
Oh a strong move by kiry to draw the foul the basket counts and Jerome kiry will go to the line Portland leads by two Jordan eluding Robinson yes 18 from Michael Jordan where Mar Co forell said magic what do you think Michael’s going to do is he going to come out fast or

In an NBA championship Siri and this is a Portland club that opened up by hitting its first seven field goals we talked at the start about the fact that they have certainly had the reputation about losing their Poise look Robinson Cy rejected by Grant the bulls with a three on two Paxton
Yes John Paxton hitting on his first field goal and it’s Chicago 68 and Portland 51 cartright so bill cartright with his first field goal you see the Chicago Bulls defense up over playing denying Portland forcing him to pop out deeper to start their offense ma him check the clock
Grant during the course of the playoffs following the series against Miami Chicago sweeping by Miami and three we have rarely seen the Chicago Bulls pipping off the right what a recovery by Pippen because the ball was knocked away but Pippen was able to get it back and
Portland wants to talk it over another Portland turnover Paxton open yes here’s pin yes and a TOS now Jordan being played by KY Michael Jordan with his first field goal of the third quarter he now has 37 Williams Scott Williams did well to get off the shot Robinson rejected by Grant rexler
Off the recovery so going back to Magic’s inside statement there’s only certain ways you can stop a run and stop the clock one way is if you get fouled to go to the free throw line and stop the r unle Jordan off a set play on the
Inbounds out of bounds underneath if you turn your head for a second Jordan will back cut you go to the rim it’s just a matter of lobing the thing up on top they love starting Michael in the middle of the lane and then he operates from there are we uh looking at the
Momentary Scotty pipp Scotty Pippen with 15 points Robinson reject it and puts it down well this has reached the point of embarrassment for Portland the way you beat Portland is to get them in a game like this where they have to think they have to make decisions and uh usually
They come up with poor decision making and they’ve done that throughout this game poor decision tiing right there by Williams but they’ve been frustrated pull the ball out run a play because you’re down over 30 points so you got to run a play now going to his left yes and a
Count a good move right there by Jerome KY and in this series they able to go to the free throw line I mean in this game right here and uh not getting higher fouls and and continue to make the basket just like there not a high foul a
Reach in foul by Jerome on Pippen and he scored the basket anyway a blowout in game one of his best of seven two minutes to so Duckworth able to convert and back up the blls four on two gr finishes it off Robert Pack the rookie from University of Southern California
Checking in pack rejected by piffen and the foul is called on Portland and here’s pack with a very impressive drive a galloping and it’s tipped home by Bryant Jordan now guarded by a levingston yes with levingston who has sown flashes during the playoffs once again this season very poor shooting by o
Bryant able to hit crowd wanted to travel Portland will be 5 for 21 in the third quarter Stacy King unable aead that here’s Bryant Sweeping in and the blls now lead 106 74 tril Blazers opened up by hitting their first seven field goal attempts and then it all turned around as Michael
Jordan went for three-point L as PJ Armstrong just did and the balls now lead 109 78 here’s Scott Williams Scot well we talked about Terry Porter being in the shooter Zone you don’t think of Scott Williams as a shooter but he’s in the
Zone he’s hit six of six H is able to B it home Livingston and Williams that came on in the championship series against the Lakers here’s Livingston from Armstrong the Bulls lead 121 82 the only consolation it’s a 33o differential which is two points shy of the largest margin
Of victory in NBA Finals game the Bulls take game one and now we are set for game number two of this best of seven NBA final bill cauri Jerome KY on the opening tip controlled by Portland and you recall in game one the Blazers open up by hitting their first seven field
Goal attempts look for both teams to go inside early and Portland starts it out with buck Williams who really was a non-factor due to fouls and playing time in game one here is Jordan yes Michael Jordan from 2o rain H right back out for Jordan again with the
Room once again Michael Jordan working his way free and he has hit on his second field goal rler met on the switch by Grant nice pass from Williams and Duckworth able to hit the bull six and the Blazers four rexler with the step beating Jordan then rejected by
Grant nice play by KY it’s a three-on-one wrestler yes and it counts a facial served up by Clyde Drexler and the foul committed by Bill conrod well this just might be the spark that this team needs by Clyde Drexler taking it to the basket a piece rejection Pippen
Starting out on the break and then the good hands in deflection turn it right around and here it is now the momentum perhaps that Portland’s been waiting for here’s Jordan for three and it’s rebounded by Williams Grant with the steel that’s the second time now for Chicago that just hanging around the
Basketball after a rebound has either stopped the fast break or in that case produced an easy score last time Portland had a man all the way down the floor but Courtright hung in to stop the break crowd wanted to travel instead the rejection and then Williams on a
Recovery is able to hit plus the foul so Buck Williams opening up in very aggressive fashion Pippen with a pull up that is his first field goal and the game is tied rexler changed his mind here’s Porter tightly by Paxton it counts and the foul called on Paxton i p
It getting the roll for his second field goal it’s the Bulls and the Blazers tied at 12 here’s Duckworth and it’s handled by Grant G tie at 12 hippen changed his mind cauri shooting bill cauri with his first field goal Bulls 14 the Trailblazers 12 Play
By Portland to stop Jordan here’s Cy J Jerome KY with his first field goal giving Portland a 16- 14 lead dunworth feeling the contact from conri and hits strong move by Kevin Duckworth BS try to get caught right involved that is his second field goal Williams with the
Step rebounded by the Blazers so H and Porter now the back court up front with Robinson and Williams nice move by Porter carry Porter able to penetrate and Portland leads 20 18 and a with the rebound Jordan has hit two of five from the field Porter again
On the penetration but this time threw it back out here’s a passing on the three hitting the two Danny a for his first field goal and Portland leads by four Robinson the open shot air ball Drexler saving for buck Williams what a play by Clyde Drexler the Blazers by six

Missed their previous 12 from downtown lasers by six 115 to go in overtime Paxton for a three-pointer he’s been off he’s missed his last five shots and give credit to Terry Porter who came out and challenged him did not give him a real clean look oh what a pass from Porter
Finding age and the Portland Trailblazers with a dramatic come from behind effort trailing by as many as 10 with 4 and 1/2 minutes remaining in regulation have come from way back and they now lead by eight as the Bulls take the timeout game one was not very pleasant for Kevin
Duckworth members of his family showered with beverages here in Chicago which certainly upset him and the entire Duckworth family 19 for buck Williams and then Kevin got himself an early foul difficulty and never got into it here’s Pippen allowed to make the move to the bucket with 24 seconds remaining so the
Blazers Come Away with a 115 104 victory over the Chicago Bulls and they have even the series at one and we are set to go [Applause] the official Phil Oaks EDG rush and Mike matys and the call Chicago ball last Touch by Portland big concern by many people the
Bulls ability to bounce back after the devastating loss in game number two did they have enough time to get themselves straightened out in their heads and immediately go down inside low to Grant which is one of the things that they like to do Chicago establish the inside
Game with either cartright or Grant Earl cartright going to work so bill cartright with his first field goal and as we have mentioned throughout this series the Bulls love to get C right involved early rexler going to the boards and by C qued through the double team was over
A whip by and he threw the foul the Blazers struggling at the line but not defensively they’ve come out very the Portland leads 54 H spotting Grant he had the open jump but he saw Harris Grant was all alone the Bulls lead 65 not worth nice move
Zorth had mentioned to us that with the game down two points for Portland clock winding down with about 6 seconds remaining the fact that the team went to him and he was able to produce the big shot just took his confidence level way up and he just feels so good about it
Cuz he wants to be a main contributor he loves it here in this city well that’s what he said he wanted to uh correct the perception of the statement the other day Jordan able to stuff for his first field goal now we weren’t there when he reportedly said that he wanted out of
Portland but he claims that was not the case as kler hits the three and the Blazers lead by the score of 108 here’s Porter with another beautiful move around Pon Jordan using the screen so cite with the pick and Jordan with his second field goal is tie at the game of [Applause]
12 rexler getting inside a fast start for Clyde he has seven points and that an unusual look for Paxton angling left and then shooting to his right there’s Brickler air ball handled by Percy gets it back again finds Brickler feeds [Applause] Williams it is Portland by three understanding what this tril Blazer team
Is about you have to live with some of those shots understanding they come up with second and third efforts Scott Williams may have gotten away with a travel that is certainly the feeling of the crowd he has brought the Bulls within one forth Robinson and Williams
Now up front B of brexler at the guards nice play by Pippen stripping Robinson three on two Hipp it all the way the BS 20 the trail blers 17 nworth set the pick pick and roll yes same shot he hit to tie the game at the end of
Regulation the same man rotating over trying to block it Grant got there a little bit late in game two that time was closer but still nice jumper that time by Kevin and John Paxton buries another jump shot Robinson works his way in rechecked by Williams Scott Williams thought he was
Foul Jordan with the steal and then flips it out to grant haris grant able to hit and he drew the Foul lasers down by six off a 11-2 run by Chicago with the three Michael Jordan beginning to heat up usage of timeouts by coaches a little run by Portland Phil takes the timeout they come out set up Jordan knocks out to Jay takes the crowd out of it settles
Everything oh beautifully done Robinson with the perfectly tied pass for Drexler they double up on Pippen Williams had him KN away able to recover finds Jordan a broken play that the Bulls were able to click on through some good fortune PS by six Jordan changed his mind
Haris Grant off to the fast start he has 11 Chicago with a six-point lead shot clock at four here’s Pippen strong move by Scotty Pippen who has looked sharp in this first quarter Watley rejected by Williams that’s his second block and it’s another time we see Williams coming
From the off side of the floor to help a teammate out he does that so well anticipating when he might be needed Scotty Pippen Scot Pippen has nine Points right Miss and a very nice set up from Pippen Hanson Williams missed the tip and Porter comes away with it Robinson dwor tipped by Robinson Cliff Robinson had missed his first six field goal attempts finally able to hit Trailblazers have gone into a fun here in the second
Quarter Michael Jordan is back and the Bulls continue to get to every loose ball Porter thought he was pushed by Pippen Pippen for Grant and the Bulls now lead 4228 AE met by Jordan finding [Applause] Porter quri trying to set a pick actually a brush by Armstrong BJ Armstrong with his first field
Goal Pippen Scotty Pippen extends to a 47 35 lead Michael Jordan yes 10 points for Jordan it’s been a very lowkey first half he’s at five of eight from the field now Pippen out of back in shot clock at two Jordan for three rebound King Stacy King hitting on

Brexler good feed from Williams Portland shot only five of 17 in the second quarter Duckworth Kevin Duckworth playing with three fouls these first couple of minutes now going to be very important for both of these teams this is a very hot building the temperature inside is very high a fatigue Factor concentration
Factor has cauri eventually knocks down the shot rant from cartri and Duckworth off the board here’s Porter leading trixler hackson wide open Drexler for kiry a 144 run by the Blazers is on a 144 run Jordan Michael Jordan is seven of 11 he has 14 four minutes had gone by

Points you let Stacy King get that low on the right block and a steal by Paxton as he stepped up in the passing Lane John Paxton with the steel providing a 14-point Chicago lead and Rick adaman takes a timeout [Applause] short out Cy FR he had a move on the
Open floor but Paxton got back excellent job of transition defense by Chicago rexler so the blls now lead 8676 with a minute 24 remaining Scott Williams and Michael Jordan learning the the spread of the four corners from Dean Smith at North Carolina Grant wide open Jerome KY just
Left his man and so many things are said after games are lost Jordan what it comes down to is Chicago severely outplayed Portland tonight and they now lead 9278 a and put home by Cy as a works his way down and that will do it the Chicago Bulls have defeated the
Portland Blazers by the score of 9484 Portland shot only 26 of 78 36% from the field darl Garrison dick petta Joe Crawford are the officials and Terry Porter moves it across against John Paxon right had a notion to shoot but gave it up Jordan beautiful shot by Jordan able to
Squeeze inside and go glass pery his shot has been way off Jordan pulls up for three yes Michael Jordan put on the three-point exhibition back in game one the bulls with a six nothing lead Jordan faking the three-pointer and there’s that fake Fast Break by Chicago again and the end
Result the layup for piffin and Rick adaman needs a timeout so the Blazers go three and 1/2 minutes the score and Chicago now leads 10 to two Jordan for C and piffen able to get to it Scotty piffen who comes off an excellent allaround game cursing yes Duckworth and cartright got entangle
They both went down cartright was complaining one the foul call right off a pick and roll yes if you coach fi Jackson you got to love this Temple so far Williams scrip three on two Pippen with the change of pace and he’s given the Bulls a 165 lead Duckworth getting inside he
Blew the layup and again that time it was deflected 165 Chicago and Jordan able to penetrate sets up Grant BS 18 and the Blazers five Grant terrific Series so far and a terrific alley pass from KY to Drexler would you explain the shot selection of fly brexler from time to
Time he will just hoist shots from all angles the same can be said of ter repter well what’s happening if if you’ve been doing it during the season and the first three rounds of the playoff you continue to do it Robinson has been in a struggle this time he goes
Down low and guns it back out Robinson only two for 11 Sunday night Rex BS 20 and the trail placers nine Pippen yes Scotty Pippen off to the fast Robinson yes so that has to feel good for Cliff Robinson who has not been able to hit the outside shot aims with the
Steal here’s Drexler for Robinson and the Bulls want to talk it over if you if you on the road I know with myself I like to get out to early lead to take the crowd out of it Robinson missed the tip William right there and the Blazers have come back they are now down by seven here’s
Pippen DJ Armstrong able to get back his quter Terry Porter launching his first field goal here’s Porter again for three and pipp gets to it Jord with the save and the stun down to 11 seconds to go first quarter I think Kevin will be a a lovely guy to
Room with what you say I don’t think so that that was a beautiful pass right there back door play Chicago opened up by reeling off the first 10 points of the game Robinson has regained the touch that’s his second from outside Scotty Pippen with a wide open shot he’s five
For seven he has 10 points duckor getting inside and Drew the foul C levingstone just came on and a got s g in quarter in the back court here’s Robinson giving it up to kiry GS for three the crow Blazers are with four Armstrong with the step yes nice play by
BJ Armstrong duck battling for position with cartri 4 minutes gone by in the second the bus by eight they’ve led by as many as 13 here’s Robinson yes Robinson with his fourth field goal so he has turned it around here in the first half Drexler around Livingston F Drexler with a sensational
Drive Jordan yes Michael Michael Jordan has 15 points up on brexler and Grant was able to help out on Duckworth for the recovery here’s Duckworth yes mag Kevin Duckworth hit that shot but he’s the only man you ever see on a pick and roll and he ends up taking a
Shot from the outside the only Center big man that I know that always like to fade to the corner instead of go all the way to the hoop and dunk it or lay it in and that’s why Chicago’s defense can come over because they they they let him
Have that jump shot they don’t want to give it to him but they let him have their settle for that more than a layo g nicely done Robinson finding brexler 10 points good rexler BS for the 38 34 lead levingston oh what a play by har Grant keeping it alive and then getting
Position to hit high off the glass here’s Porter that’s two-point range well Terry Porter with his second field goal Brent our grant continues his excellent play lasers have hit their last five Mak it six we’re approaching three minutes to go first half cartright showing the nice touch that’s his fourth field goal nine
Points Percy knocked it away Livingston recovering shot clocked down to three that’s a three there’s Cy we have seen very little of Jerome KY getting to the open floor buckworth with the rebound Blazers down by only three here’s Buck Williams and it’s rexler with the PB he’s brought Portland with it one
Clock at five down to two here’s Jordan at the 24 second buzzer Michael Jordan with his fifth field goal he of 17 points at all the blls lead by three here’s [Applause] dler the Chicago lead is W the Portland defense has stepped up the last three possessions Jordan 19 points the blls 4
The Blazers 45 on Right strip by Drexler shot clock at four here’s Paxton for three and that is his first field goal rexler wild shot he was trying to draw the foul piffen ahead of the field that’s the problem when you wind up taking bad shots you land on the
Floor you’re not up backing transition defense the blls with an eight-point lead chot clock is running down here’s Porter just off Duckworth on the rebound and blows the layup Kevin Duckworth with seven points and Portland is down by six and both clubs have gone to a cold spell Pippen Scotty
Pippen giving the Bulls a 55 47 lead but to me you know it doesn’t seem like they have particular one or two plays they want to run Terry Porter just hit a shot there is it because Rick adaman feels that perhaps this club cannot handle too many plays as Percy is
Able to hit some teams are better in a freelance situation well I’m sure with his talent they are better in a freelance situation but you’re in the championship you’re in the finals now you got to go with some uh set offense you got to go with some kind of strategy
That’s going to help you win the game especially when you playing the Chicago Bulls you can’t R them all the time against themler and here comes Jordan Michael well he he felt the footsteps and was able to slow down and went for the conventional layup M Williams that is his second field goal
Buck has been quiet right for levingston and it’s recovered by Livingston Jordan for three Michael Jordan has gone back to the three-point game he hit one early this is second of the night 24 points in all Robinson wide open yes the 63 the Trail Blazers 57 out Jordan looking to post
Up yes Michael Jordan has 26 did not work rexler on the recovery Phil Jackson felt he came from out of bounds here’s C check by Buck Williams Robinson too much dribble and it cost hoders lost it gave it right back nicely done fly prestler with 17 look to go oneon-one changed his mind
With a coming over to help hoders greig hoders Off the Bench to hit the jumper that was two-point range the ball 69 the Blazer 64 final seconds of the third quarter Rex for Robinson two seconds to go in the quarter quarter with the good fake on Armstrong that’s the 24 second buzzer
And the blls open up with Jordan and hoders at the guard St Williams up front along with oh haris Grant nice move by Michael Jordan Robinson I have the shot that out to [Applause] corter h and a half G by in the four Jordan yes Mich
Jord and a timeout called by Rick Alan he’s passing on the three it’s the two and he a for the second field goal he has five Scot piffin is back Michael Jordan sitting down BJ Armstrong with the open shot hitting his second field goal well that was a good shot for him
He had just he had missed his last two or three shots and that was a good one for him to knock down for that confident level able to answer the bench well represented for the blls right here Armstrong took for sh it counts the foul on AIM and Armstrong gets the call on
The continuation Cy and a for Porter goes along with Phil Jackson of being predictably unpredictable you just don’t know what he’s going to do all of a sudden H just plays he hasn’t played yet in strong move by Cy pass from Qui rejected by Robinson there’s a c [Applause]
Portland within two P yes the Bulls lead 82 78 finding [Applause] Cy Jordan Stripped by Drexler three on two Percy Porter gave the dxw Portland has taken the lead for the first time rexler with the pass fake nice feed from C Jordan did not have the mov on the
Baseline got it to Pon and he’s tied the game with the three-pointer one second remaining on the 24 Cy throwing into a gets it off and it’s rebounded by Grant we’re down to 40 seconds to go on the four fivepoint lead for the Blazers Paxton with the running hook able to
Bank it home John Paxton brings Chicago within three quarter racing ahead of the field well that sures Chicago so the Trailblazers tying the series at two and they just run it [Applause] down and carry Porter controls the opening tip here’s kiry who came up strong on Wednesday night giving
Portland a two nothing lead as Buck Williams felt that he was affected because of some strong statements he made about the manner in which he would play physically in this series and he thought it cost him in terms of some early calls by Jake Odon and John Paxton has tied the game of
Two and Cy not able to hold on to that pass and that’s the threat of Michael Jordan being in front of you on the way to the basket and that is a three for Jordan Mel on the turn around jumper Michael Jordan extends to a 7-2 lead here’s a mismatch Pippen trying toering
A quarter ptic up the hell pton with three on the shot yes so once again the Bulls off to the fast [Applause] start Cy TI home by kiry well three bulls actually paid attention to that basketball first Miss for Chicago they hit their first four shots nice ball movement beautiful give
Goal here’s Pippen slicing in Scotty Pippen got off very quick on Wednesday and then magic as you mentioned was involved in foul difficulty and was taken out of it now pippet hting up on P you know the um the the Portland Trailblazers have changed their matchups
Here they putting uh they put quarter on Pippen and uh KY is is guarding uh pin that was a good move right there by dor getting the position finding Jordan M Michael Jordan with his third field goal off to the fast start oh beautiful play
By Pippen and he goes all the way and crosss the foul rler fall for the foul and Pippen will go back to the line Williams got the step K home by Drexler again Pippen to the post up on Porter oh he went blast beautiful angle shot here’s GE pery played him well
Pery ripping by pupper I want to mention two things magic as to why they could have pery playing Michael Jordan one is the size Factor they don’t want a double team they’re trying to play him straight up the other is that cross matching as Grant knocks down the jumping nice entry pass for
Testler well the assist for Porter battle between Grant and Williams down low Jordan setting up cart right yes bill cartright with his first field goal try to get it to grant grant with the save the bucket and the foul gos Le by 11 two and 1 half to go in the first
Brexler that’s his fourth field goal good start for Clyde rexler he has 10 jackon and Jordan now work the back cour Jordan tried the three-pointer Scott Williams with the box out of buck Williams the fans can look for is that both Stars will be doing a lot of shooting tonight especially because this
The most important game bu Williams with his first field goal the blls lead 33-24 Chicago is hit 13 of 19 from the field make it 14 of 20 Jordan 4 for seven he has 12 but usually when the when the bull scored this amount of points 37 that means that their defense
Is being aggressive and they scor score off of that Danny a just hit the three-point play but their defense is good and they scoring off the defense with a series of headit fakes sets up on strong yes blls lead 3926 by Michael two points because he
Touched it on the uh on the rim rexler has returned open shot Jerome pery is at four of five has eight points Jordan Michael Jordan has 16 and the ball’s leaded by 17 points here’s Drexler Drexler 10 points for cly Drexler he’s complaining he thought it was foul Steel by Cy two on
One a decision for Rick Adam you stay with K brexler playing with the three Michael geord with 18 points the Bulls now lead 4732 there’s Jordan hobbling back down Court sh clock of three out of two caught right Bill caught right at the 24 second buzzer connecting on his second field
Goal if you go back to game one they were shooting 60% and were down 15 because of Michael Jordan in the first half of game one with 35 points flip Livingston the quick leaper getting to the boards Clos by 14 Jordan for three well Michael Jordan goes back to three-point L that’s his
Second three the big move for the second half for Phil Jackson put somebody along the Baseline pitch Michael Jordan Danny AES connecting on the three-pointer H up from with piffin and Grant hackson and Jordan at the guards piffin keeping it alive 15 for piffin Scotty piffen to the
Scoop rebounded by PPP and he is flying and pretzler comes away with it Porter with the center for Puck Williams Terry Porter has been dishing off effectively throughout the first half King getting inside a strong move although the Blazers thought that he traveled remember as Percy gets down
And that Chicago lead us down to 11 Paxton is open John Paxton with his third field goal he has six the blls 62 the Blazers 49 what Portland wants to do is try to get this game at 10 or or really up under 10 going into halftime
And they would feel real comfortable and good about that turn around jump him right there by deor by dretler despite the four fouls will start well he had a switch off to Jordan who opens up by hitting the jumper here’s curing and it’s rebounded by
PPP pet Grant and C rght on the front line Jordan and Pon in the back court and the Bulls hit their first two shots both from the right hand corner but when uh duckor with being dou team they have no Cutters no ball Cutters and that’s
Why he’s having a struggle out of the D team he’s a breakaway for pipping and slam dunks and that Breakaway set up by the block shot of harrus Grant good second effort by KY full 72 and the Blazers 56 Mar with back door beautiful play set up by
Uh Chicago with Pippen delivering to Michael Jordan on the back screen live rexler had it knocked away recovered by Duckworth he’s blocked by Grant here’s piing on the open floor giving it up to Paxton and the balls with a 78 59 lead 8 and a half remaining in the third quarter [Applause]
Duckworth BS lead 78 61 Jordan eluding Drexler so Michael Jordan has 33 points and the Bulls have an 18 point B Robinson yes and it countes here’s Jordan for the Fade Away rebounded by dler Robinson double team got it back out here’s Porter brexler oh what a
Slam by F brexler the shot by Porter a Miss but the perfect timing by Cod to fight Porter that’s two-point L he can’t buy one he’s 0 for six from the field here’s Pippen Terry Porter’s offense in this series has been most disappointing AG guarding tippet a matchup that has not
Worked for Portland Paxton is open John Paxton with 12 points here’s Jordan nice back door setup from Scott Williams Livingston is back replacing Grant who a moment ago picked up his fourth here’s Jordan Michael Jordan with 39 points he here in the third Portland only four of 17
Pretty fast from Robinson to set up Williams the Bulls 90 and the Blazers 74 Robinson changed his mind nice speed and Terry Porter converts his first field goal winding down on the third shot clock at five piff and forced it andir ball handled by Williams a b pass
Though bad F Pass By Buck Williams and it’s tipped home by levingston that was a costly turnaround for Portland blls 95 Trailblazers 79 a minute 20 into the fourth Robinson good look from a Livingston for Williams Scott Williams PFF do not go for the fake and
A with a force but he’ll take it that was not the shot he had in mind but he was committed in midair and he had a fire one up next one with the show the ball move met by King and it’s deflected by Grant Robinson out if Portland is going to make their
Move this is the time right here got Michael on the bench they need the pressure Deni get up all over the Chicago boy players and try to create some early offense Hansen with the follow a wild shot by King but Hansen able to convert quarter Terry Porter with only his second field goal
Armstrong so again a mistake leads to a Chicago Basket in the NBA final the most points scored in a game 61 elen Balor did it for the LA Lakers in Boston back in April of 62 Rick Barry once at 55 here’s Porter and the Bulls lead 107 to [Applause] 91
Jordan 43 for Michael Jordan well the pressure that Portland is trying is a full-court manto man pressure when you face guard they back cut you and then take advantage of the numbers fly Drexler who has had a very quiet second half Robinson returning to Porter nice play but Michael Jordan did
Not want to pick up number six you can see the skill level of Robinson he’s thrown three or four excellent passes beautiful block by Drexler a for three rebound Drexler the BS 109 Blazers 97 hackson shaken up as he hit the deck quarter for three now they change it to two it’s a
Two-pointer blls lead 110 99 is aggressive move by AES a able to beat Jordan who is playing very carefully did might want to reach [Applause] in and P just did get it off beating the 24 second buzzer a and tipped home by KY and the Bulls Come Away with a
119 106 Victory to go up three games to two in this best of seven NBA final a pleasant and potentially historic Sunday night in Chicago the 243rd consecutive sell out at Chicago stadium and none of the 18,686 here expect to be back on Wednesday night instead tonight they

[Applause] PPP Cy putting the move on George Cy with the tip and he’s tied the game at four Phil Jackson mentioned to us earlier today that one of the areas of concern the ability of Portland to put it on the floor the steal and now the
Slam up by kiry he gets three or four of those a game just because he has the ability to run out in Phil Lane Chicago scored the first four points Portland the next six here’s pet and he’s TI the game at six Cy played by Pippen it’s Drexler and it’s rejected by geordan
Michael Jordan with the rejection he had some help from cwright KY rebounded by duckler so Portland leads by the score of 8-6 Robinson went short but kiry is right there a strong start for kiry when the Bulls saw the match up the Cliff Robinson against Bill Cod rght earlier
In the season they felt they did not try to take advantage as much as they should so they’re looking for COD rght here meanwhile Robinson from the outside Cliff Robinson three games to go struggle to two of 11 then bounced back with a good one in game four three of four the other
Night in Portland pipp it off the board and able to travel Blazer’s lead 128 Corner dumps it off the rejection by gr Robinson and the rebound handled by [Applause] Williams hackson for [Applause] three shot clock at three Porter with a force and he hit it and through the foul

For his second field goal he has four lasers lead 28-21 I think that’s the way Clyde wants to play Michael challenge him a little bit but back off so you don’t get beat with that first quick long step make him make some jump shots before you come out and really get up
Tight on it oh pretty pass off the dribble by Robinson cff Robinson with a good start the Blazers lead by nine Michael Jordan sitting down so Scotty Pippen running the club is able to hit on his third field goal he has six pery got the step he has 14 points

Side of the floor it was an isolation created almost by happen stance it was there Michael took advantage of it saw the opening took it to the rim it’s a two-point Chicago lead wler blank with five fouls going for the steel against Jordan now Jordan met by Porter there’s a two-c differential
Between the game clock and the Shar clock and now the foul given by Porter for four point Chicago Le drexell was checking thought there might have been a timeout remaining here’s Cary for three Pon with the rebound tied running down the Chicago blls have won the NBA Championship for the second straight
Season Michael you told me the other night in Portland this one would be more relief the other one was exhilaration you still feel the same it is man it’s it’s just so gratifying for me personally you know I I went through a lot of hard times this year but I stayed strong everybody
Supported me you know you know we played well today I’m glad for Bobby Hansen he’s the only guy that didn’t have it I’m glad for him there were stretches in the playoffs where you had to carry your team you were the high scorer again tonight but you got help especially from
Scotty everybody contributed Scotty was a you know real big emphasis in in the third and fourth quarter and you know I had it rough first half but these guys carried us and you know I was able to get in there in the fourth quarter and
Help help pull it through so you know it was a good team effort I think I think Michael we’ve got a package here of some of the baskets you scored down the stretch from the time that Pippen three TI it at 85 you and Scotty got all the
Points yeah we played well you know we it the onew combination all year long and I’ve always said that you know Scotty takes pressure off me as much as I take pressure him so you know we played ex extremely well down the stretch both of
Us here I was able to get a steal as Scotty blocked out Buck Williams and got the DK and you know that put us up two points so it was a good effort by everybody you know I I I just tried to post up you know I I I learned from the
Lesson when you know game four when when jaxson knocked that away from me so I was prepared and here I go to the hole you know trying to get a foul to get a layup you know so it was a good effort I’m glad they gave me a chance to redeem
Myself and this is the free throw that seals it what was going through your mind at this moment if I don’t make these free throws they’re going to hunt me for the rest of my life so I was really concentrating on you started very slowly I think you had two points in the
First quarter and the Trailblazers were all over you guys for three periods I know uh you know I was going to be very passive and see how the other guys play early but I got in a bad bad Rhythm myself and uh you know they played extremely well defensively and uh
Somehow we got it going and and once we got it going that was no stopping us did you have a chance to say anything to Drexler or he to you no I was too elated you know I’m going to go over and say hello you know I mean say thank you it
Was a great competion it was tough luck but somebody had to lose I’m glad it was us Michael congratulations thank you and this the 25th season of the Phoenix Suns franchise they are gunning for their first ever Championship while the BS are trying to become only the third team in
The history of the league to make it three straight wins the officials Hugh Hollands Hugh Evans J kiry 99ยฐ outside and things beginning to s up inside and is controlled by Phoenix as Kevin Johnson moves across against BJ armstr and with the steel PPP him all the way
And the Bulls off to the two nothing lead Markley finds West Mark West serving up a facial DJ Armstrong for three DJ Armstrong has had a terrific playoff run Johnson penetrated Kevin Johnson so effective off the dribble was able to break it down magic in the Cleveland series BJ
Armstrong did a very good job against Mark Price and Terrell Brandon pressuring him Kevin Johnson presents a few different problems however mord Michael Jordan able to go glass to give the BS a 74 lead Richard Dumis who did not play at all last Saturday on the seventh game setting up Dan Marley
The Bulls seven and the Suns six one of the major question matchups from the Phoenix point of view is Richard Dumis as haris Grant gets the roll Dumis going against Pippen Jordan off the steel three on two it’s Grant from Jordan it counts in the foul the foul called on
West two Friday night here in Phoenix game three at Chicago on Sunday Charles Barkley the other thing it’s a test of immediately for Dumis having to guard Pippen as much as he is early in the game here knowing that Pippen can score or as thisit off and Bill cbright does
The scoring B carright came alive offensively against the Knicks here’s Grant yes Iris Grant with the post up move extending to an eight-point lean humis with the spin had the ball knocked away but recovered by bar full 16 and the Suns T it is kind of a
Hybrid unusual setup and it can lead to all kinds of different type match up Bill cite with his second field goal C setting the screen for Pippin rebounded by barley crowd a little impatient as the suns are off to the slow start Barkley goes all the Way [Applause] Pippen Scotty Pippen going glass for his second field goal and now both clubs having their difficulties we come up on four minutes remaining in this first quarter Kevin Johnson with a brilliant a brilliant move he went the distance if we did not get to the
Finals it would have been considered a total flop in most basketball circles considering what they gave up to get me and what people expected from us the City of Phoenix the Suns as a team and and basketball in general they expected us to get to the finals well the man can
Hold his head up because he has met the challenges he has done exactly what he said he was going to do to this point get Phoenix into the finals to have a chance to win a championship and in fact of the the 17 shot attempts Now by Phoenix Charles Barkley has taken eight
Of those he’s only one for five from the perimeter two for three from down inside and here’s Jordan following that Richard Dumis field goal his first con with the steel and the bucket and that is a most unusual sequence well you don’t expect Bill conr to come up with a steal and uh
Mark Mark West got to watch those Outlet D Richard Dumis Dumis with his second field goal now getting into the flow the Bulls 24 Suns 18 Pippen off the screen yes and the shooting is picked up at both ends Pippen is now four of six Armstrong Pippen gets to it setting up Armstrong beautiful play by Scotty Pippen us now played by Williams go to the finger roll swept aside by Scott Williams one thing that kind of jumps out of you here early as Michael hits Grant on that transition fill in the
Right lane got clock at five a grant over Chambers and it looked like Chambers got a piece of it it’s Jordan final seconds getting it off yes 310 of a second remaining in the quarter and Phil Jackson goes with his small group the three guard offense
Michael Jord pulls up hits a jumper and this will be a good unit to use throughout the series against Phoenix because wall West ball likes to go to unusual lineups small lineups at times six points for Jordan and the BS with a 16-point lead K Johnson with a nice move
He’s played well during the playoffs again Barkley backing Grant put to the left hand and Grant got some help 8:45 remaining in the first half a back door pass handled by Scott Williams and the Bulls executing beautifully now leaded 3822 a guarded by tuer Trent did not go
For the head fake a the the fade away Danny e a man who faced the Chicago blls in the finals last year as a member of the Portland Trailblazers Jordan from Deep yes Michael Jordan has eight points the Bulls by 16 just under 7 minutes remaining in this first half pien yes
And the Bulls open up an 18-point lead coming into the series everyone said you have two finesse teams uh in the finals well something that shows up right away there have only been four free throw attempts after a quarter and a half of this basketball game which means either
You don’t have people hitting each other out there there aren’t a lot of drives to the basket there’s a lot of jump shots or people are scoring too easy no one’s contesting them what a sensational first half effort by Scott Williams four points and eight rebounds for Williams
Johnson with the force but it’s punched home by Dumis the and result Chicago with an 18-point lead make it 20 Scotty Pippen who had The Sensational Series against the Knicks with 12 points here tonight on six of eight from the field the Bulls 46 and the Suns 26
Barkley and the first easy attempt for Barkley give with the steel here’s H for Johnson and put home by Dumis here’s Jordan he had it knocked away from behind Kevin Johnson Barkley for Miller Phoenix showing some signs they are now down by 14 kis connecting with the floater top clock at five Jor
Changed his mind here’s Grant the tip missed by the combination of Pippen at C right Barkley with Pippen from behind going for the steel finding Miller so the Suns have cut it down to 4837 and this crowd very much back into it but Scotty Pippen able to quiet them
Down Pippen try to feed out four on two Dumis Chicago 50 and Phoenix 39 sh clock down to 10 Johnson got the steps and it counts it’s a go Phoenix have F within nine they were down by 20 here’s Jordan extending Michael Jordan driving the lane final seconds of the half Miller
Rejected from behind by C Pippen gets it off so that’s the end of the first half during the regular season Phoenix is the third best three-point shooting team in the NBA their first in three-pointers attempted almost 13 and 1/2 a game and first in three-pointers made so that’s a
Big weapon that’s missing that’s why they only have 41 points right now and here’s Barkley again busley 5243 em Johnson P play by Scotty Pippen on a switch they isolate for Barkley Grant going for the steel foul called couns the basket counts and the foul charged to Harris gram
Jordan great with the rebound Armstrong yes DJ Armstrong with nine points gos lead by nine Armstrong for three so BJ Armstrong with his second from downtown Marley well Dan Marley had been quiet that is only his second F that is only his second field goal pipping with

Oklahoma City in the CBA average 28 points there also played for John Lucas’s Miami Tropics team in the usbl last summer c r Bill card rght on target he’s four out of five he has eight points the Bulls lead by eight shot clock at four GIS lost it and pipping feeds Jordan Mel

By Jordan Dumis to the reverse Richard Dumis has been getting the good start early that has been the pattern and he’s come out with a couple of Hoops here in the early going Phoenix 6 and Chicago two Michael Jordan getting on his first attempt dois with a beautiful move off
The fake to beat Pippen set up by Barkley Scotty Pitman ran over formed the double team with haris Grant it was a double team that was a difficult one because the floor was so spread as Michael goes to the basket misses but har tips it in the ball’s up two games to one

Going to fake and put it on the floor Barkley getting the position on Pippen and Charles with his second field goal he has four the Bulls 25 and the Suns 22 bulls have hit their last seven straight as Michael Jordan makes it four for seven for nine points here’s another
Problem now who does McCrae play does he play Dumis who’s very active and quick or does he play Barkley who will overpower either hippen or McCrae doesn’t matter right now they just switched back and put McCrae on Barkley then Pitman ran over to take Barkley and
Charles Barkley is hit three for five he has six points BS have led by as many as seven Michael Jordan on target he’s five out of eight 11 points Chicago 29 Phoenix 25 Johnson gets inside strong On The Run Chambers getting back the lead for
Pippa Stacy King has come on as has John Pon Harley with the rebound nice fake on McCrae so the Suns now Trail 31 to 29 Amad had mentioned coming out of the timeout that Chicago went with McCrae over King the nice back door pass by Charles Barkley for Danny a first time
McCrae has played in this series seldom used during the season Jordan yes and it counts now Barkley facing the triple team Charles was so concerned about McCrae coming down from the top that he lost sight of Stacy King from behind him Jordan with 15 the Bulls lead 35 to 31 here’s
Chambers yes a twoo Chicago leadley with the steal well Charles had that diagnosed and he’s tied the game at had some words of advice for Jordan as he finished it off oh yeah he’s just letting him know that he here to try to win a championship it has been a
Splendid playoff run for Michael I asked him is this the best that he has played all season long I think it has been because I think what’s at stake is a little bit more challenging than what you know was at stake going through the 82 games you
Know I mean uh once you go through it a certain amount of times uh you have a monotony starting to set in so you don’t really have the challenge that that’s there today or at this particular time and uh I think that’s helped me elate my
Game and be more consistent with my play a a on the follow 3 minutes gone by in the second quarter and the Bulls now lead 37 35 here’s Jordan 19 for Jordan Chicago 6 5% from the floor West cuts it to a three-point Chicago lead and the suns are shooting
50% B West I would think feels pretty good he hasn’t had to play KJ on Michael a whole lot here so far and they still close enough if he needs him a lot in the second half he should be fresh Michael Jordan Michael Jordan 10 for 14
203 points it counts in the foul Dumis blocked by King and dois will go to the Line West working hard for the shot Mark West is three for three six points the blls now lead 4543 Jordan with some room 11 of 16 27 points the NBA Finals

Down you’ve got to get to Michael Sooner you let him get inside the foul line area you know he’s going to take off from there Elevate and keep flying to the front of the rim that has not been one of Charles’s Fork Shooting from downtown Michael
Jord 14 for 20 he has 33 points final seconds Marley yes and the foul potential four-point play the three-pointer by Marley and he’s fouled by Jordan with 710 of a second remaining in the half Barkley from Marley and the Suns move within one on right with the

Double team Pippen has 14 the blls lead by 10 Johnson rare jump shot for Kevin Johnson that’s only his second field goal the Bulls lead by eight Johnson slicing through nice setup Chambers rejected by right gr and I think they should now run an inside play to uh
Charles Barkley Bulls fortunate to get it back here’s Jordan and again Jordan with it Armstrong for three the bulls with only their second three-pointer but they extend to an 11 Point Advantage Johnson rejected by Williams l Touch by Kevin Johnson well Pat Riley told us when we were playing
The Boston selers that if we let one guy come in for a layup or if we pick a guy up we will get fined and the same thing BJ for three and the same thing that he’s doing with the New York Knicks and you see Michael Jordan is able to drive
Here in this series anytime he wants to all right Miller able to put it down Jordan for Grant beautiful pass the Bulls lead 79 71 with 425 remaining the difference between last game for KJ Kevin Johnson and this one is he made a couple jumpers early which got his confidence level up
Right now he’s just two for9 from the floor not real confident shooting Michel Jordan very confident shooting the ball 41 for Jordan a changed his mind started to go up crowd wanted to travel and then it’s thrown away oh Jordan and a trash talking a with his hands on Jordan Jordan just
Told him get your hands off me exactly now it’s heating up this is a series now the series I come to expect that it was was going to be like I said earlier it was too much friendship earlier and now they’re getting into it the way a series
In terms of a championship is supposed to be like Jordan and Barkley had some words exactly Walker for king oh nice play but beautiful passing on the inside shot clock down to seven Frank Johnson given the shot Frank Johnson hits the open jumper this is a

Way here comes Jordan 47 for Michael Jordan the BS 95 the Suns 89 what Paul West was upset about as he felt that when Kevin Johnson went to the basket they were riding him out on the hip and that’s the reason he didn’t finish the play it counts and the
Foul for Michael the other night H only six of his last 20 from the field bill cauri with an opportune time for his first field goal right now fixs have their best offensive team out on the court right now and Johnson takes it to the basket Kevin beautiful penetration
Move by Kevin Johnson he has 14 the Bulls 97 the Suns 93 crossover more for Jordan and finishes with the finger roll plus the foul Dan Marley told us when he crosses over right to left I cannot stay with him I know it’s coming and there it is
Right to left he gets the step and then the elevation and then the Finish well what happens is Michael Jordan knows his foot speed is is better than uh Dan Marley and he just using all the quickness that he has and for Jordan 50 points the BS lead 100
94 p is rejected by Barkley kned out of bounds by a what a play by Jordan who was able to elevate extend in the air as he made certainly get someone to pass the ball to and that somebody just happened to be Scotty pin and the guy
That just happened to block his shot happened to be Charles Barkley who going back in the game earlier had a few words for one another when there was some bumping and shov going on and Charles reminded him once again that that was me that got that block Charles has played
43 of the 45 minutes up to this point and in the fourth quarter we worried with fatigue set in Kevin Johnson hit the Baseline jumper rebound Marley so the jump shot has been off in the second half for Michael Gordan Johnson yes Kevin Johnson has
Turned it up in the second half and he’s brought the Suns within four with 235 remaining of the game Scotty Pippen taking advantage of a double team on Jordan and then he’s called for a double no wait a moment jump ball a junk ball the call was changed and the suns are
Upset and it’s controlled by Chicago Jordan using the official H Evans as a screen and then he’s pushed oh a and Jordan thr at each other Ang and Jordan had a incident earlier and they continue to talk Michael have the finger point in the face of a he did not like

Clock and the game clock Jordan yes and a count you know it would have been better for Charles to foul him all the way than halfway foul him foul called on Barkley four-point lead for Chicago Michael Jordan 12 of 17 from the line gunning for Point number
55 the Bulls lead by five 13 and 310 seconds remaining and remember I was talking about WEA child with how foul Michael Jordan it was time for that hard foul right there instead instead of hard fouling he lets Jordan get it up and he compounded by fouling him and a chance
Put a three-point Play the B by five will be back in a moment Jordan puts the ball on the floor goes to the basket to try and initiate contact instead of taking his arms down Charles Barkley tries to move under him for the offensive foul no no good too much concentration too much elevation
Michael Jordan on the drive to the basket gives Chicago the lead and Michael Jordan with 55 points has tied Rick Barry for the second highest total in an NBA Finals game Elden Balor with 61 Rick Barry had 55 back in 67 against Philadelphia and now Michael Jordan with 55 Miller
Fir so the Chicago bus have taken a three games to one lead on the Phoenix Suns no team has ever come back from a 3-1 deficit to win the NBA Finals bulls with the three games to one lead control the opening tip but Barkley continues to fire from outside
And he’s given the Suns a two- nothing lead you can see that Grant doesn’t feel early there’s a a sense of urgency that he has to be up tight on him until he makes a few just like Kevin Johnson did from the left corner Michael Jordan for three [Applause]
Yes well Michael wasting little time his first field goal opportunity and he converts Johnson yes I’m afraid to see what the number might be tonight with Michael each game they’ve gone up 31 points 42 points 44 55 dipping with the back door layup and that was a beautiful

Admire Tom Chambers for stepping up in a situation where they really needed West fouls parking with fouls walking not scoring a lot as BJ Armstrong hits a jump shot Chambers has come in and provided him with the offensive scoring bis kin Johnson with the assist kin Johnson off the dribble ball
Barkley on the recovery if you say it to yourself it should Charles Barkley still be out there at this time would you expect anything differently from Paul westall they were down 02 against the Lakers and he said oh no problem we’ll win the next three the man believes in his team he
Believes in Barkley it counts and the foul Chambers open well Tom kber set up beautifully the last couple of times now but not able to convert Paxton yes that’s a three-pointer for John Paxton Chambers he blew the stuff Chicago leads by seven Armstrong for three oh they are on fire from

9190 just under 5 minutes remaining and the fourth here is Jordan yes Michael Jordan answers the Bulls 92 and the Sun 91 got clock at five b the three contact by Barner a rebound West rebound Phoenix 93 Chicago 92 under 4 minutes remaining of the game Markley stepping up for the
Jumper Marley with the tip and a loose ball foul is called on the ball Phoenix 94 Chicago 93r and the two-time defending Champion bulls look to be very tight that’s the case in Chicago on Friday night one of the things is that their offense relies on passing of the
Basketball Marley with the three rley comes up with another offensive rebound they rely on throwing passes but they’re not getting into the offense quickly enough as a result the clock is running out on him Kevin Johnson yes Suns 96 the Bulls 92 a double up on [Applause]
Jordan here is Jordan yes Michael Jord Michael Jordan cuts it to a two-point Phoenix lead 31 for Jordan is there any doubt where they want the basketball to go you got to rely on your guy that can put the money in the bank for you Armstrong call for that re the
98 the blls 94 sh clock at five three out of the 24 2 one it’s another 24 seconds violation and the BS offense is completely out of sink sou clock at five Marley from way out and nearly got the Roll rebounded by Barkley Charles Barkley calling for the
Timeout a sensational play by Barkley and when you look at for West still finding humor in the moment as Marley’s coming off West ball giv him the choke sign signaling that he should have made that shot a pitches back to Frank Johnson rebounded by Michael Jordan now Frank Johnson not the man
That the Suns would have wanted to take that shot and jort is able to go the distance worst thing that could happen let him score and use up very few precious seconds so now if they can get a defensive stop without fouling Chicago will have a chance to tie the
Game two point Phoenix Lee 25 seconds to go 10 on the shot clock hipping over the hell Marley eluding Jordan Frank Johnson gives it back Harley oh he went short and it’s a 24 second violation let’s see Head Rush and Mike matthys conferring apparently Chicago had called for tie Suns by
Two it has come down of this possession you want Michael to get a full head of steam try to keep him in the middle of the floor well PPP got the step here’s pass it to three yes the Bulls take a one-point lead and Phoenix calls for
Time with three and five T seconds remaining in the fourth quarter three 9/10 seconds to go Evan Johnson will inbound Oliver Miller plays it here’s Johnson Johnson gets no he could not get it off knucked Away by Grant it’s all over the Chicago BS have made a three straight NBA championships a three-point
Shot by John Paxton the game winner the bulls with a record low only 12 points in the fourth quarter that is a NBA Finals record low but it was enough Michael Jordan when that buzu first jumped so high but immediately had the presence to chase the basketball down
Into the crowd whoever had picked it up he wanted that basketball signifying the third world championship in a row and he went after it and got it Michael will allow you to speak first on behalf of your teammates well I think everybody everybody put their out there you know
From Cory Williams to Ed NE all the guys that were going to end Reserve you know this is a hard fault three peat you know what I mean it took a lot of work a lot of times it looked kind of dim but we stuck in there we hung together as a
Team and you know this is a reward of what the hard work does for you the crowd here kind of blocks us from seeing the monitor we’ll try but until Pax is winning three-pointer you had all the points for the Bulls in the fourth quarter I knew PX was going to make that
I just knew it whenever he got it it was a great draw in and you know for my part just trying to do whatever I can I hope you enjoy it Bob it feels good right now is it is it Joy or is it relief or is it
A combination this has been a great year but a tough year it’s both you know it’s a relief plus it’s great to win you know I think we’ve gone through a lot me personally I’ve gone through a lot of ups and down to cap it off this way
Means a lot to me believe I hate to make you look ahead but you’ve talked about retirement in a year or two could you step aside if the streak is still intact no y my love is strong for this game right now and that’s how I’m looking at
It and I’m going to be here as long as my love is strong Johnson Luke Longley on the opening tip and it’s controlled by the bus Pippen going right at Payton match up that Hannah referred to now they double up on Jordan harer is open prep thir right away you see the strategy
They will come and double team Michael with hercy Hawkins just trying to get the ball out of his hands and they’re willing to let Ron Harper take that shot sha Kemp with the room and that’s no surprise there Luke Longley will try to match up with Shawn Kemp as much as [Applause]
Possible and Kemp fires from Deep so Shan Kemp who comes off these spectacular seventh and final game against Utah is able to hit on his first two shots the sonics with a four3 lead Gary pton can’t waste any fouls they call him the glove selected as the NBA’s best
Defensive player this past regular season although here in Chicago there was certainly much support for Scotty Pippen that’s the only award that the Bulls didn’t win I thought Scotty should have won that award and K has been Unstoppable here the early moments three for three from the
Field air ball hook shot and the Bulls only one for their first six Johnson Johnson getting down Court beating the Bulls and the now lead 85 count long leg and a loose ball foul called against Chicago it is on Rodman who is sporting a newa they got a an age symbol a peace symbol and a Pearl Jam symbol on that haircut for Dennis Rodman and that is the first technical called on Dennis with the new look to
Tennis obviously not happy with that call he felt he had inside position underneath the backboard and when that whistle blew he looked like the most confused guy in the world and took a long look at the trail official Joe Crawford out camp putting the Move On by
Long dou sh post entry passes are too slow got a pass sharper than Longley very active here at the start that’s a second bucket and it’s the BS by one as J comes up with the blockt on Hawkins again the size of the Bulls guard something that the sonics haven’t
Had to face in their earlier rounds here at the our Phil Jackson Field he told me before the game that he thinks that the Sam Perkins Tony kach matchup is going to determine this series which one could lead their bench to the greatest performance Michael with
His first field goal and the balls now lead 14-10 hman Harper’s really slowing down Gary pton Advance the ball open shot for Perkins for three Sam Perkins deadly from three-point ring Jordan yes Michael Jordan missed his first two he’s his his last two and the blls are
Up by six now Jordan going against pton goes to the FED oh he wanted that shot he wanted Gary P as soon as he had a one1 he waved everybody out of there and he wanted to go not a bad job by Gary P he forced Michael out just a little bit further
Than he likes to be on that fade away jump shot but Michael’s eyes lit up when he saw PT there he wanted a piece so Jordan after the slow start has hit his last three of the Bulls lead by nine and here’s ASU with his first shot
Attemp so ascu from downtown minute and a half left first quarter here’s Kemp Shan Kemp on fire four of six here in the first quarter and he has nine points and can’t look to go all the way from St by Jordan rebound Co twisting his way in midair three-point shot went astray and the tip is put home so the Bulls now lead 24 to 20 and here is kach out Tony just beating the 24 and the B’s now lead by six been a difficult time emotionally for Gary pton dealing with
His suicide attempt John Kemp now with 11 points it holds their first turnover on that 3 second call nice move by pton and for Gary Payton it is his first field goal side and then able to hit on the foto Perkins yes and it counts a beautiful move going right at Dennis
Rodman the four shooting continues by Chicago Perkins with the good look and hits again a three for Sam Perkins he now has 11 points and he has led the sonics to a four-point lead in the Seattle huddle Mar George Carl telling his team he wants to continue to see a
Crowd around Michael Jordan cuz he says Jordan is not looking to pass he’s looking to win this thing on his own they’re down by four Mark and as you say that Michael unes from three-point range B foul called on Hopper Payton he missed his first six he’s hit
His last two in the sonics now lead by three points here’s Longley 10 points for longle it looks like Luke picked up something from Shaquille in that last series he dipped that left shoulder and just wiped the defender out of [Applause] there seven points for harer and the
Blls take a onepoint lead yes sha km with 13 points he’s had the touch six of eight from the field and the sonics by One GL rebound St by Haw and R hoer has been doing it nine points for hoer hains nice move off the dribble by Percy Hawkins rowski passed on the three and then Hees it back the other way at an o into a drive L Hawkins able to knock it down hery Hawkins has
Tied the game at 41 Sonic by one just up two minutes to go in the first half here’s the double team on Jord over be and that is foul oh watman and Browski had words you can see it coming and as you mentioned before Mark and Bill Dennis
Robin has to be very careful already with that first technical foul any kind of talk walking or two players getting together like that and he will get whistled for that second and be tossed not moving around the Defenders he just trying to go through him or over him that won’t
Work and Joe CER says stay right here and Dennis Rodman trippy losing it now he’s applauding the call Rodman was about to get involved and then walked away Joe Crawford is going to call a flagrant foul here on Frank rowski now Jud bushler replaces Dennis rod and the conversation
Continues and a technical is from call on Browski a double KCK theal on frankowski apparently Joe Crawford feels that the intent of Bowski was to instigate something against L Bowski now War looking in the direction of a couple of bulls and he’s joined by Security man and is ushered back to the locker
Room Jordan is being guarded by W gate Jordan so Michael has opening up he has 18 points and the balls lead by six Jordan getting right to well once the ball went into Michael Jordan the quick double team right back out to pippet and then the quick repost and Seattle’s
Defense not quick enough to match it now The Bu up is a long way guarding camp and Kemp with 20 points shot clock at six a nice bra haer 11 for harer it’s the BS 57 the sonics 52 P looking for the steel here sh with the rebound and the bucket so
The fot by De sh the a foul committed by Haw Marvin Sonics will be without their alltime steals leader for the rest of this game and maybe the series Nate McMillan telling me he’s just in too much pain because of the back injury to go for the
Rest of the day is going to make a determination tomorrow whether they’re not he’ll sit out the rest of the series Mark all right thank you Hannah Dennis Rodman with his first field goal blls open up a 10-point lead so Nate McMillan gave it a shot played 6 minutes and the first half
Did not attempt field goal Payton with a pretty move going glass and the balls now lead 6456 that’s a major loss and also with Browski already ejected pipping from downtown this is not a team Seattle that’s shown a great ability to come from Far Behind nice nice pass from
C and Rodman has five points C off the good lead pass and the blls now lead by nine Cur with the floater and SHP rebounds four and a half remaining third quarter Payton’s giv the ball up quick and shrimp hits the three so de left shrimp following the scoreless first
Half has come on here in the third quarter M on the post play from the pr guys but Sean K able to hit over Dennis Rodman and km has taken over this quarter he now has 28 points in a he brought the sonics with it one shaky offensive lineup for Chicago right now
Pipping the only Creator Ander KN down the three buler nice lead pass but he he blow it and Mar very tough match up for Shan km now against Tony new de with shrimp finding the range in the second half and the game is tied at 75 shrimp with all
Nine points in the third Michael J is back f that ball was last Touch by mic ction by Pippen he was upset with that last call but Pippen able to come up with the Block B was shot well during the playoffs not shooting well here tonight fennington Bill Winnington with his
First field goal D shrimp has worked his way back into this game with a terrific third quarter oh a beautiful kick by wington to start the fourth quarter the balls lead 81 77 kach with a go steing his way and it leads to a timeout
Kach a three for Tony Kar who has had a big game Off the Bench he now has 11 Perkins to three but the sonics hang in down by six Seattle have P previous five shots before that Jumper by Perkins good coach foul a potential fourpoint play now
Jordan tried to get it down low intended for Pippen here is Kemp K Shan Kemp nine of 12 from the field he has 32 points a steel by haw and the Sonic call for top stealing from Jordan and you know though Sam does not show it it’s one of his career
Highlights you’ll never let him forget that oh that’s one that will be uh shown time and time again nice move Gary Payton with nine points and the ball’s not lead 9383 oh pick off by Kemp and here’s well longle have that pass telegraphed and Phil Jackson is very
Upset open look for Rober came it up Rob and Rober back out the floor playing was five fouls but the blls now lead 9586 pton just can’t finish at the basket area too much size too much athletic ability for Chicago kach from Jordan 18 for Tony CUO he had an
Outstanding night with the steel and and again GE Carl watchs to talk it over last Touch by Longley try to save it part the scary thing for Seattle is that Jordan after a relatively quiet game that’s usually when he comes back and plays his absolute best remember
After a quiet game three against Orlando comes back with 45 in the closer oh nice move by Luke longle 14 and that is a playoff career high proud reacting open shot for Hopper but came up with air and here is pton here so the Bulls now lead
10188 oh Michael Jordan with a high aring jump shot and that had something to say to the Seattle bench long l oh look how Rob just went down Joe Crawford taking a long [Applause] look K has fouled out here’s another look at it a totally unnecessary play all of them hooked up there
Frustration by Shan Kamp just let that one go you got to play above the ANS of Dennis Rodman shot clock at five 40 seconds of the game Jordan yes in dramatic fashion and the BS have one game one 107 to 90 the officials EDT Rush Jess kiry and Hugh Holland Hollands
Not a favorite of of Chicago B the sonics control the opening chip jcy Hawkins open shot for K and the KCK by Johnson wow I’m really I thought the plls would just come out firing defensively with pressure on the ball three possessions that time for the S
Again the outside shot by Kamp Shan Kent Michael Jordan setting up against D left shrimp uses the pick and Hopper able to keep it [Applause] alive good look from Longley is a very skilled player that like Browski for Seattle gets very little credit for what he can do with the ball
Hawkins Hawkins on the penetration well George Carl saying after game one he wanted to see his guards in particular taking it to the basket well Hawkins just two for n in game one not asserting himself and he caught himself that way in the Utah series as well yes and it
Counts the sonics nine and the blls eight now shre guarding Hopper the back door C oh that’s part of the triangle offense that usually doesn’t start that far out on the floor C block by Pippen Seattle still looks tentative here’s the double team on shrep and Payton fires hits the
Three Gary Payton seven rebounds for Johnson in just under 5 minutes in this first quarter Jordan gets inside and the game is tied at 12 Michael Jordan said he might not have come back of piing we not a eff of the blls and here is Pippen with a nice face
And just de the 24 5 and A2 remaining in this opening quarter down to Center on the shot clock and the glove just did pick one off good poke Away by Perkins as well shrep well dead left shrep missed his first four similar to the scenario in
Game one got off to the slow start and that was his first field goal Sonic lead by one good thing for Seattle is how many shot attempts they’re getting as Jordan is feeling it perfectly early on but Seattle has taken twice as many shots as Chicago has that’s something
They don’t normally do here’s [Applause] shrap Oh What A Move by Sha Kemp so Kemp with eight points Jordan t for fade away on Target and Michael is five of seven he has 10 points pulls lead by one Hawkins for three and back comes Jordan hin putting the move on Hawkins and hit it BS Le
2017 W this is Chicago Bull basketball any kind of Steal any kind of Miss shot they want to get out on run but so far they look very tired to be very heavy leg but man it’s also Seattle Sonic basketball the question is is it enough these teams are so similar it often
Seems though like Seattle just comes up a little bit short almost as if they’re Bulls light ton with the steel and puts it down and then apparently had something to say to Jordan not a good idea well Gary pton was told by his coach George Carl late
In game one and yesterday as well I want you to get a little crazy out there I want you to be yourself I want to see some arrogance I want to see the Gary B that helped lead us to 64 wins and there’s a little bit of it right there
And you have to be very careful with that not only because the officials will nail you with the te but you do not want to fire up Michael Jordan in this building for any building for that matter Winnington now defending against Sam Perkins nice move by Perkins and
That is his first field go Perkins again working on Winnington and again hits with the running hook shre posting on Rodman TR clock at five oh nice move on a fade away by dead left sh here is K coach and back up the Sonic pton in the
Open floor putting the move on curve oh Gary Payton with a very impressive start he now has seven points and the sonics lead by [Applause] five a rare Seattle turnover Hopper from Deep yes Sonic by three hoer putting moves on snow good box out for Kowski with the head fake Brown wanted
To travel Hawkins with a beautiful move now you can see the mindset of hery Hawkins not going to just stay out and work that three-point line and attack the rim every chance he gets pery a native of Chicago telling us is bushler is able to hit after going 0 for four the other
Night and the Sonic St lead 3128 battle with the edge on the boards Sonic with a one-point lead open shot for Haw it’s a three for R haer and the blls have taken the lead pery Hawkins candidly had an interesting appraisal of his teammate Frank Bowski
Said that he’s very good at bringing out the worst in [Applause] people Scotty crippin with 10 points and the B’s now lead by four that’s where George Carl thinks this whole situation is De vop with Browski look referees are all over his case every single time nice move by
Hawkins pulls lead by three we’re just under 5 minutes to go first half Hawkins with the room well hercy Hawkins showing some signs 4 minutes to go in this first half of the game is tied at 39 starting pipp 12 for Pippen and the balls lead by K short K he posterized Scottie piffen again Hopper open S A go won’t get it block shot is the call Hawkins pretty give and go between K and Hawkins nice exchange and the Sonic lead by three C yes
Steve Kirk creating by himself with a quick release and Jordan for [Applause] three that was an offensive sequence that was not going anywhere and Michael able to bail them out longly with a nice dish from Michael Jordan there’s sha Kemp with a series of moves rejected by
Longlin shrap for three yes and he’s tied the game at 48 harer for three and r with a nice tick beautiful Touch by Dennis Rodman shre and dead left shre doing it over Luke Longley and the game is tied at 50 Jordan over Hawkins so the match up for the moment is hercy
Hawkins defending against Michael Jordan and Jordan all over Hawkins last Touch by what a play defensively by Michael Jordan here is C quick release with longly moving in his Direction Shan Kemp 16 points and he’s tied the game at 52 long getting position Rob Dennis robman with the
Offensive footb Gary pton nice change of pace on the dribble so Payton with nine points and the game is tied at 54 Lo with the box out terrific Outlet Rodman Tri it yes now Dennis Rodman made that play happened he just sprinted as hard as he
Could middle of the floor went right to the rim de left STP had to honor that and that left PIP IT open on the run now they get back Pippen for three r with the sa but he stepped up apparently pushed out so the foul call welcome back to the United Center in
Chicago look at the Hustle by Dennis Rodman a moment ago and then uh Dennis saying so have you read my book and C back on the floor coming on for Longley Perkins nice post up taking advantage of kach seven points for Perkins the Bulls lead
6156 r with a bad p and and here’s piffen with the Breakaway caress turnover by dler sh the time that just breaks your back shot clock at four sh up and by K Shan Kemp hammering it down Scotty Pippen Robin again what is Sean Kemp doing Sean Kemp he’s got to
Spend 50% of his time thinking about boxing out is R Marv George Carl Furious during that last time out he said you guys gave the Bulls those last two possessions you got to get in the game don’t let the fatigue gets you you have this game in hand but he said don’t
Forget get those defensive rebounds and then worry about your offense Mark hard had it bar pton cutting it to a two-point Chicago lead lar Rodman has found his rebounding rhythm in the first game and a half he was jumping three times for every rebound he event got his two coach finds the range
Co show the two in a row for down oh that’s amazing we had seen him just a few minutes ago didn’t even want to look at the basket now he comes out of that timeout I wonder what oh it’s steal and Scotty so the blls in the midst of a Serge Perkins
Airball there comes Jordan lady kick and forge car wants a timeout the Bulls by 11 Pippen BR he’s able to penetrate straight down the lane no pressure poked away from Perkins but recovered shot clock down of three Perkins slipping by kach kach for three and Rodman with another offensive
Rebound that short K just does not block out he goes for the ball that’s 10 offensive rebounds for Rodman one off the alltime record for the NBA Finals held by the Big E Elvin hay brown brown now doing it at both ends a terrific contribution for brown they don’t look
For him they don’t expect much from him but he always just keeps it there with the great [Applause] attitude looking for the for the travel the up and down but apparently the official felt that there was contact made and knocking the ball away and Perkins was able to recover series of
Moves attempted by Longley leading to this Hawkins yes and it counts and chy Hawkins will go to the line a 70 run by the sonics since that Chicago 13-point lead Jordan Michael Jordan able to penetrate BR looking for the steel PS 82 Sonic’s 74 here’s pton right back Harry
Payton cuts it to a six-point BS Lee Payton has been so much more effective in this series facing the basket from around the foul line area when he tries to turn his back against these bigger players of Chicago he gets in nothing but trouble Longley well Tony kach who help oh kach comes up hbling Jordan and K able to keep it away from long R and even that time Luke Longley had inside position just not able to get up high enough in the air shrep yes de left shrep he has 13 points the Bulls 84 and
The sonics 78 we have 515 remaining of the four we come up on 4 minutes remaining on the four K yes and it counts Shan k will go to the line shre with the Fate not able to hit on the running hook K is there it will count and the foul
Six on the 24 and CER Fires for three Rodman with the offensive rebound and that ties an NBA Finals record 11 on the offensive glass for Rodman and that was a big one fou is called to stop the clock with 15 and 810 seconds remaining that left TR called for the
Personal this time Pippen will try to inbound Jordan gets it back to Pippen and Hawkins called for the foul now to 8 and N1 seconds PPP misses on both Rodman able to get a jump ball out of it however it’s only a three-point game that was almost an airball by Scotty
Pipper let’s see R leave the hatrick and it’s controlled by Jordan and now the foul with 3 and 710 seconds remaining oh Payton and Jordan having some words face to face and Hopper guides Payton away and rman is able to hit for a four-point lead Perkins fires it down for shrimp
And that will do it the Chicago B is for with the victory a reminder that the sonics and the BS are well aware of only two teams in the history of the NBA have been able to come back from an 02 deficit bills Portland team did it in
1977 over the Philadelphia 76ers Boston did it in 1969 against the Los Angeles Lakers and the Bulls say they are ready for this emotional Onslaught from this crowd they know the Bulls that is cannot ease into this ball game Seattle is starting to gain some confidence it is
Irvan Johns and Luke Longley on the opening tiemp and taken by the Bulls long L well Chicago had missed its last 12 shots that figure dating back to game number two here is kach well Michael Jordan had a little chat with Tony Co coach during the
Course of game two and uh felt that he was a bit on the pass shot P able to save that back door pass here is Jordan for three the Bulls continue their terrific ball movement and I like the fact that Michael Jordan is guarding Gary Payton
Here he is not going to let Gary pton get off well pton does get it off and hit love you say B the Bulls able to get off to the quick start Jordan setting up long Le yes talking to the Bulls prior to tonight’s game they’re all concerned
About the energy lift that this crowd would provide Seattle well they took care of that with the fast start got the St and puts home the put back Seattle over three from behind the line continuing a disturbing Trend as Jordan making that statement game going at who’s ever guarding
Mention the disturbing friend as K was able to get position inside well that’s been the focus of Chicago’s defense throughout the playoffs against every team they do not want to give open looks to anybody Tony kach with a beautiful move he’s hit two of three and here’s K
Offensive foul it’s a charge on Kamp well Dennis Robin saw that one coming from about 30 ft away and he couldn’t believe that c just kept coming and coming and coming he was standing there waiting forever the offensive charge illegal defense was just called for the first
Time against Seattle here’s Co coach for three well Phil Jackson forced to go with Tony K coach is the starter because of the knee problem suffered by Ron HW shrimp I thought the sonics had a notion early in this game they wanted to go at K coach with shrimp they went a couple
Of times dead left didn’t take the shot long Lane B to Frank it K on the rebound B Hawkins three on one Payton for Perkins nicely done and that gets the crowd going the bulls with a 198 lead now try to break P got the roll and it’s the BS
2110 over Seattle the lead for Jordan and he misses the layup but longle is able to convert what’s going on here we are seeing the best Spurt of basketball that the polls have shown over the first two games and a quarter here’s Longley getting inside nice moow by Luke Longley
And the blls out lead 25- 10 it has not been impressive for the Bulls although they did win the first two games Steve K said the other day the Bulls have actually played only three and a half good games in the entire playoffs it’s nice that they set such a
High standard for themselves that’s one of the reasons they’ve dominated basketball this year Kent able to save it shot clock is rolled down to three down of one and it is a 24 second violation Perkins off the head F Sam Perkins with a strong move 25 Jordan yes nine points for Jordan
He’s hit three of seven not seeing many STS at the uh the other end of the Court as Chicago goes to the offense they have been scoring at will in this first quarter it’s a classic example of of just what great offense does to a very good defense one
Of the top rated defens in the NBA Seattle this year and a three for Jordan that gives him 12 blls lead 30-2 a steal by Jordan leading to the breakway by Pippen oh the Bulls are just eating up the Sun Sonics in this opening quarter with a minute 35 remaining it’s the’s 32
And the Sonic 12 pipple out a Lee for robman and the onslaught continues we’re approaching one minute left in this first quarter reverse and covered and the balls now L 344 now the Bulls have brought their aame in that first quarter scored by P and it’s now Chicago 34 and Seattle
18 esir with the floor and the Sonic showing some size they are now down by 14 they again working on Brown they’ve lost with balance pton oh lot of Gary PT Gary pton operates so so well when he gets the ball down low on the left side lington going CL got clock at
Five Brown for three Randy Brown who does not think shot first able to hit from three-point La Seattle had only 10 assists in the game on Friday night Payton pton able to chase it down sh eluding bu who just came off that left TR with his third field goal
He has six points and the balls now lead 3925 and I wouldn’t say that nobody wanted the players that you mentioned just that they found their kns with this particular ball Luke Longley with a nice move as Rodman and Browski became entangled Luke Longley with a terrific
Start five of eight from the field 10 points Jordan got caught oh Michael Jordan with a couple of miscues here and the first half oh nice pass from pton dead left thre with 10 and Chicago’s lead is now 14 C yes Steve Kerr with his first field goal
Coming into today one of 11 from the field the first two games of the series and coming off a superm shoot performance against Orlando De left a different player here on the first down and it’s Payton on Jordan Sally play by Kemp Jordan yes nicely done on the setup
From CUO and there’s nothing passive about Tony CUO here in the first half Sean K six points now for Kamp the blls 51 the sonics 35 maron’s one of those guys who responds to the challenge a very competitive guy even though quiet personality Harper out he knowed his and
Michael Jordan picking it up he has 20 points the Bulls by 18 Jordan being guarded by Windgate shoots over yes oh Michael is on fire Now 23 for Jordan Jordan yes Michael Jordan Michael Jordan with 25 here’s pippet yes and it counts well a symbolic finisher to a
First half that has been just splended for the Chicago BS Oley comes out followed by Browski shot clock is down to two here is Longley L Longley with 12 points and the Bulls now lead 64 4 38 Kowski just left three to hery Hawkins ke had it acally knocked Away by pton able to recover and hit the goal 64 and the sonics 476 and A2 remaining in the third qu Hulk it for three they just cannot hit from downtown and it leads to this a fast break bucket
By Jordan a can’t with the spin move and it nowhere to go Browski for three and he was able to hit that’s brow’s offensive game feed off the penetration spot up at the line what a pass Jordan lonely tied up by ke K with a brilant defensive play this play
Byow who is becoming a factor in this third quarter for three bus 68 the Sonic 54 K able to get inside John K got off to the slow start he has now become a factory his 12 points hand of Defense got clock at seven Pippen oh beautiful move with a
Head fake out of pery Hawkins and Phil Jackson in the Chicago bench are wondering why Steve Kerr was not credited with a three-point shot apparently they did wave it off call it a two here’s Windgate for three D wind from downtown now Payton Poston facing the double team the steal
By piff kcko chased by Perfect the BS with a 7 359 lead Winnington Bill Winnington with a second field goal Michael Jordan only two points in the third quarter was not part of the offense but figures to be a different story here in the fourth Jordan now with 31 Jordan with the pull
Up yes and a c foul committed by wind and Jordan to the line here’s pton Barry pton with 12 points he’s in five of 12 from the field the mlls now lead by 18 you see this lineup for the Chicago occasionally with both lley and wington on the floor but I’m sure it
Won’t be too long before Scotty Pippen re-enters absolutely cuz the Bulls are so much better when they go small but the way longle is playing today I’d go with him down a five on the 24 PPP it for three with two seconds remaining on the clock far with the
Pools oh longly off the penetration again C can’t keep him under control Tire cast will be on hands to recount the game with highlights we hear from some of the players you’ll see some of the press conferences as we look back at the game three here in Seattle rowski with a second field
Goal and Jordan fouled by Hawkins and Rob and Kowski getting involved and Phil Jackson at the other end of the floor taking a very long look and now whistling to his team out there he does not want Dennis to do anything that is not going to have him ready for
A game four you just have your heart and your throat at all times when they get tangled up and see Dennis initiates all that by getting his arms Tangled Up underneath the other player and then makes it appear that in this case Frank Browski is doing the
Holding once again with the game not into balance a 22-point lead but these These are certainly two of the freest spirits in the NBA we don’t need any sort of altercation here that would take away from this beautiful exhibition of basketball today by the Chicago Bulls
Now would this be considered Taun I just going to say that why is that not taunting just a look and almost baiting Frank Bowski to do something Dennis has to settle down play basketball go play golf with Michael Jordan tomorrow and get ready for game four but if you can’t
Stand there at attention and look at somebody with a blank expression on your face what are you allowed to do Scot clock out of four Jordan and Robin and Browski get involved it looks like petta has given the objection sign this has been brewing the last couple of minutes I think he’s thrown
Both out of the Game marowski ejected flavorant foul to Jackson should do this game a favor maybe take Rodman out Rodman Kemp coming together and K picks up number five on the other hand Phil Jackson may be enjoying the fact that Dennis Rodman has gotten into the heads of the Seattle
Players and uh Michael Jordan just came over giving us a look as if to say he’s kind of amused by it but what’s going on here he we’re coming up on five minutes remaining in the fourth for is having his best game of this series very quiet gains one and 26 for
And I’m sure it made him feel good and helped the whole ball club by getting after Tony K coach about those couple of times where he passed up some shots and jumping on Luke longle about maybe feeling sorry for himself with those five SES and I think that definitely
Picked up those two players and I think it woke the rest of the ball Club up as well nice pass got Ed and Bill Winnington is three for three Steve cerr going to the left hand shrim 105 to 82 buler able to drill it Hawkins on the fake 108 to 84 wi
Game the blls winning game three 108 86 so we’re set for game four of this best of seven the Bulls seeking a sweep for their fourth championship the last six years the sonics hoping to push it to a game five on Friday and Scotty pippet able to control the opening test Ahad
Said Michael told him they only need one out of four Michael told us he’s got things he’s got to get done he’s ready to take care of business and here is Jordan so the BS with a a two nothing lead and thatt with that Li in the locker room
Beforehand it was disappointing to see the somber almost defeated attitude F K from Gary Payton here is Longley Luke Longley coming off a playoff career high 19 points in game number three Jordan to the hoop and Rodman able to convert Seattle opened up one of eight from the field and the Bulls lead
6-2 here on Sunday night the Bulls opened up with a 194 lead to diffuse the crowd Crow very much into it right here from three C Away Jordan and Hawkins took it away from Rodman Rodman complaining to Crawford and is hit with an early te and you can
See that the officials are not going to accept anything from Dennis Rodman and no-brainer there in game one Dennis Rodman gave the two hand wave to Joe Crawford early and picked up the technical here he felt he was pushed over the top and then looking and talking to Crawford at the way and
Putting the hand up Joe Crawford couldn’t wait to Blow That Whistle to nail Robin and try to keep him under control with that first second there is Kemp nice bir by SE K and the sonics have taken the lead for the first time since the end of the second quarter in
Game two shot flop by K and it will be Seattle in oh what a fake by got he Pippen he lost the defender and that was able to go glass to tie the game of eight Percy Hawkins just find the r but able to hang in to
Make the defensive play and it leads to the bucket by K Shan Kemp not able to hit right and here is Gary P from downtown nice pass the block by longle to stop C well the ball’s going to the double team the other day and Hopkins is able
To hit on the spinning jump shot to extend to a 158 Seattle leag but like all players Browski needs consistent in Hawkins for three well hery Hawkins who has not been able to break out in this series has hit two of his first three and the sonics
Three of six from downtown Luke Longley with his second field goal Sonic’s lead by seven and more they’re getting him off of good passing andol movement something that’s not happened in this series Sonics have turned it over more than they’ve generated assist we saw the ball mover right there David R gate from
Gary P PPP working on Hawkin hipping off the recovery and lley with the tip the sonics were looking for offensive interference thank you aad Sam Perkins line drives it home and the sonics lead 225 off the steel Payton got the step leading shre and he is fouled Perkins working inside
He thought he was foul Mar back to Jordan that’s one of the reasons why I think he’s a better player today than he’s ever been before he knows how to pick his spots better he so much smarter a beautiful pass by crew coach to the slashing Harper and a nice finish by Rod
Hoer 2319 Seattle nice nice pass setting up pton Sonic by six wington he’s had the touch Phil wington hitting on his first field goal to ATT Sam Perkins extends to a 2721 lead opening minute second quarter nice pass from McMillan so mate McMillan standing at the top of the key

Much sweeter was this one well you know I can’t even put it in words on father that what it means to me I know he’s watching to my wife and to my my kids and to my mother my brothers and sisters this is for Daddy
I’m very happy for him now you had said Michael that of all the accomplishments that you’ve made that this may be the accomplishment why well this goes right up there to have my kids my kids are the most important things to me my wife my
Family but next to them this is going to mean a lot to me because of what what it symbolizes which is my father on Father’s Day it means a very lot it means a big deal for me now you remember just a couple years ago that early
Flight to Indiana where it all started now all of a sudden it looks like this is a culmination it’s been a long road you know it started from scratch you know I had a lot of support for my teammates for my family I’m just happy
For the city of Chicago I’m sorry I was out for 18 months but I’m happy I’m back to bring a championship back to Chicago I know this is what you’re pointing for but as we look back at the baseball we were talking the other day that you’ve almost forgotten about that
Seems like years ago I haven’t truly forgot it you know those minor leagu was meant a lot to me they really got me back on the road of thinking basketball they showed me the genuine attitude that you have when you’re playing a sport that you truly love so I give a lot of
Gratification to the minor league organization the white socks Organization for for giving me that inspiration but it’s always great to come back and play in Chicago all right Michael congratulations to you on a great year and way to bring it to a end thank you very much the quest has begun
For the Chicago Bulls as they gun for their fifth Championship the past seven years for the Utah Jazz it is their first trip to the finals in the history of the franchise beautiful pass as car with the nice lead for John Stockton I think there’s something that calls earn
And you know people could easily said Michael Jordan’s MVP this year but they didn’t and and to have animosity or any type of jealousy or use that individual Accolade to motivate myself I don’t really want to I think the motivation that I have is that we’ve been to the
Final four times and we four straight we four out of four this is the fifth time we want to make it five out of five that’s where my motivation come it’s not individualistic to where I’m trying to prove something about the MVP I love to win even if I’m not
In Carl Malone very aggressive offensively Michael Jordan the gracious competitor maybe the most gracious of our time but that does sting a little bit he had a chance a realistic chance of catching Jabar at six MVPs oh here’s Jordan so the Jaz up by the score of 4-2 and both clubs having their difficulties at the start the J with a 42 lead longle comes off a strong game against Miami oh Stockton got the step he took Hopper off the dribble and one
Of the rare times we’ll see Michael Jordan make a defensive error what a pass oh Malone he he saw horness SEC cutting inside and was able to fight him the Jazz eight and the Bulls fourth and the Bulls have scored only two of the first nine possessions Michael Jordan
Adding to that percentile the Jazz eight and the Bull Six a team basketball again great block gotty pipp pipping with the recovery to stop s and the first foul committed by either team 545 left in the first Scotty Pippen Utah 10 Chicago 8 as we come
About 5 minutes to go in the first Jordan lost it but got it back to Long Way and the Bulls very fortunate Michael was able to deflect it back robman now defending against balone hello yes only his second field goal open shot for CER C with a three-pointer and the blls lead
By one blls lead 1312 with two 15 remaining and the first Jordan yes Michael Jordan telling us earlier he would not force the issue Jordan and Malone off the bom out Mark Utah is controlling their defensive board something Seattle could not do last year gave them absolutely no chance to
Win the championship that’s going to be key who wins the battle of the board and a strong move by Malone going straight down the lane for his third bucket the Bulls lead by one with a minute 10 left in the first and with Scotty pitman’s problems Tony K coach becomes more and
More problem and more and more important as a playmaker J Whistler who has been a major contributor throughout the playoff IC Ley Howard Eisley who has done the job Off the Bench usually comes on to spell John Stockman eisy try to put moves on cerr down to two seconds
And Isley hits what a shot by Howard e one point Utah lead now Brian Williams on the floor for the first time a beautiful pass again AL long finding Foster here’s CUO through Tony CUO with his second three-pointer round off the steel he has stopped it back goes to the pull up and
Hits the Bulls lead by two moris on the floor for the first time it’s Foster good ball Movement by the jabz now Jordan played by the rookie Anderson Michael Jordan shooting over andon Anderson Foster feeling it Rick Foster has the good touch all right thank you Mark during that timeout Jerry Sloan
Very happy with the defensive effort of the ukah Jazz he said offensively however you must set and hold your screens and take much better shots unhappy with the shot selection Mark 10 points for Jordan on five up 10 shooting Randy Brown now defending on John Stockton here’s car beautiful move by
Antoine Carr the 13-year professional from wit State hor strip stock and Recovery shot clock running down here’s Anderson for three and Carr able to get to it nice pass from Anderson Anderson with the set up Jord Michael Jordan has 12 and the Bulls lead by one Michael’s eyes are wide as saucer
Right now going against rookie shanon Anderson but meanwhile at the other end shanon Anderson enjoying himself the Bulls have not played a team like this in a long time Chandon Anderson a second round graphic Utah did not have a number one oh the opening for Scotty Pippen that’s
His second field goal and the blls lead now 32- to 31 got clock at seven out of three Malone yes Carl Malone has 10 points it’s the Jazz 34 and the Bulls 32 Stockton got the step John Stockton with his fourth field goal is eight points and four assists Utah
Jazs are overplaying every postentry pass again the hesitation by pipp and that led to the turnover Stockton for three John Stockton the hero the other night against the Houston Rockets which put the Utah Jazz into the finals by virtue of his three-pointer just hit that open three-point shot to extend to
A seven-point Utah lead and Utah getting the help off the bench 70 run by the Jazz they lead him 3932 here to Jordan rman with the T Ro again and took a poke of the eye Jordan Rodman terrific ball instincts and he fires Dennis a been in charg from recent
Development on the loose ball one of his great skills and he’s brought the bals within one hustle for three just did beat the 24 Stockton is a tough hard-nosed Defender who will stand in against anyone no matter how big they are everybody’s getting their hands on
Passes here oh Scotti piffin with a good looking three-point shot he drilled it well the Chicago Bulls during the regular season scoring that 103 points of ball game but it has been going down down down now that’s a lot of that has to do with playoff basketball a lot of
Half court play very little transition but this is ridiculous je qu sack Pippen for three wild [Applause] shot and in many cases John Stockton would have flipped that ball ahead to Brian Russell but the way that the jabz have been turning it over he wants to make sure
Russell nice lead pass for Russell his second field goal a seven points and the Jazz lead by five Jordan screaming for Rod but that’s what it’s come to well Dennis Rodman looking for the offenseive fact was a a postup go-to play in the last couple of games against
The Miami Heat that’s his second field goal here tonight the Jazz 46 the BS 43 oh the block P un contested the Utah lead is one alone comes out to set the screen the lead for the long off the Picker roll well Utah expects Chicago to send that pick and roll towards the
Baseline the moves on Russell and hit Scotty piit one of the greatest players of all time schooling Brian Russman up and coming star on a sack squeezing his way through oal tag with the rebound and the tick ah to be over 7 ft tall what a dream alarm comes out
Aggressively on Pippen Phil Jackson wanted a foul called Hopper waving it off now Jordan hting up horac going glass the GS 50 the Bolls 49 top one at seven porac Jeff Pac getting the roll that’s his third field goal he has six and it’s the Jazz by three jry slow up remember
He calls all the plays even with the Brilliance of Stockton who’s not playing now slow will call everything Oh What A Move by Icy and a great call by Jerry SLO because the Bulls trying to hide cuck coach a poor perimeter defender on the point guard so UT just spread the
Floor took advantage of it I’m not going to get caught up in a Carl Malone and Dennis robman situation uh I’ve walked away of situations in my life and you call everything from a from a wimp to things you can’t say on TV and but that’s fine with me I’ve worked 12 years
To get here I’m not going to look back when this season uh this series over with and say to myself God I shouldn’t have did that uh will I take some uh some elbows and things from Dennis absolutely will I give some as this series go on probably so Carl rarely
Gets involved with the officials only when they’re taking it from him Michael Jordan with a good angle jump shot following up on the the jet porac roll so the Jazz now leads 5654 Jordan putting moves on icely and Pops it out h the BS 57 and the Jazz 56 18 for Scotty [Applause] Pippin here’s Malone Carl Malone right back Carl Malone can get that top of the key jumper anytime he wants horac a three for Jeff horac who has caught fire and the Jazz now lead 6157 at the open we talked about oh Jordan wide open it counts out of the

Two against Atlantic this season in the second round Scotty piffin continues his magnificent performance it cuts it to a one point Utah lead we saw that bench storing number heavily in favor two to1 of Utah that’s been away for the Jazz all playoffs as Carl Malone drills that
Jumper and longle got a piece of it alone with 17 the cast 73 and the Bulls 7 Mar this is MVP time this is when you pound it inside to Carl Malone and let him go to work and here’s b or settle for a jump shot but he is
Taking Luke Longley out there where Luke W is just not going to be an effective Defender turning face against the big guy torture him p for Malone Utah by five 5 and 1 half remaining nice pass from longle and Jordan looking to reset hor AAC is with him here comes Malone here’s Jordan

Ball’s lead by one and a defense alone with the opening alone with the drive and I guess what set all that up was the fact that he has been making that outside shot and it sucked Luke Longley right out there so Malone to get the penetration Utah by one 120
Remaining in the fourth Jordan spinning his way on Hornet rebounded by hawford pipple for three yes Chicago 81 Utah 79 as we approach one minute remaining and the four con one of the best of seven NBA final serve spot for three yes a jous by one 8281

Blls lead 105 offer over to help I’m Malone car Malone with a turn around in the face of Ryan Williams Carl starting to feel the rhythm he often misses a couple of easy gimmies early on in the game but once he finds it you can’t stop
It here’s Jord setting it up for now the running game of Chicago just getting the ball out advancing it the players can’t catch up to the F and a beautiful two-on-one execution beautiful back oh hor a sec converting off glass that is his first field goal the Bulls 12 and
The Jazz n Utah hoping to tie the series at one Jordan again corck yes je quter sack Utah was just so wide open in all their back Cuts they didn’t have to ever get into the just seems to be on fire totally focused in tonight that’s a three for

Seven here’s Russell oh he went blast very fortunate I don’t know if that was the intent final seconds of the first quarter iy oh the runner by Isley one and 610 seconds to go here’s Carr yes Antoine Carr brings the Jazz within three great pass and Carr wide open
Takes advantage antoan Carr a 13-year veteran out of witto state now Jordan putting moves on Anderson yes well that ends the streak small Chicago team out there right now Utah should be taking it to the rim cuz there’s just no shot blocking out there unless a Jordan or PPP come over whoa
Barks from way down like I said take the ball to the rim or shoot from 30 ft Mark you talked about the offensive struggles for for the Bulls they started off the game 10 for 14 since then after 9 Minute Mark two for 12 but their rebound dominance
Has kept them in the lead I’ll be it very slightly and this time as carlone get great deep position and it brings youah with him two Chicago has led from the stop Hopper cut off by Stockton and trying to go glass rebound short well both teams very small right
Now you shouldn’t even be thinking about settling for jump shot try to get to the ball of the basket or do what Michael just did get to the offensive laass Adam Keith has come on for the first long rejected recovered by Anderson and it’s a 24 second violation it’s hor a second
Russell getting sent to check back in his Harper for three BR Harper with his first field goal FS lead 3629 being played by Russell cor SEC on Jordan Longley for Haw Beautiful b m now Michael Jordan getting in the air thinking shaan able to stay up there so long make the adjustment and
A terrific look by Luke Longley to find the open man oh Jord the steel Jordan putting the moves on the look away for [Applause] Pick 12 on AER by Chicago hoer yes Ron Hopper has been a very important player these first two games of the final thir Luke Longley
Finds that left-handed hook Chicago leads by 18 here’s horac yes the beautiful thing about a guy in Harper situation when you play with a great great player like a Jordan a Mone or a bird you just have to do your job like luk lley throwing down dunks pass
For Malone fing Foster but he was blocked Foster retrieves Malone a cter Malone with the stuff Hopper yes BS way 5740 but right now the the Bulls just sharper quicker in every aspect Utah struggling to find anything open opportunity for cooko Tony kokov knocking down a three and the
BS lead by 20 60- 42 Chicago Jordan yes that’s a tough way to play the picking rooll for Utah here’s the isolation for Jordan play by Russell putting moves on and hit it when Michael gets the outside shot going and he’s starting to feel it right now
Russell ran Ryan Russell and the foot on the line it’s a two-pointer the Bow’s now lead 64 44 Jordan yes Michael Jordan throwing glass with the reverse Chicago leads by 20 Jordan yes 30 for Jord 7048 for Chicago and here’s Russell a three from Brian Russell so the Bulls
Now lead 70 to 51 over a Utah team that went 64 and 18 during the regular season a franchise record 64 what a pass Jordan for Williams it’s all clicking now either the triangle offense the spread every defensive move Utah is making Chicago is countering for an Easy Pass
Ke off the steel of fine Anderson and the blls now lead 72 to 53 they don’t seem to be as sharp as they have been this is the I think by far the poorest game that the Jazz have played Carl Malone now has 17 and it’s Chicago with a 7257 lead
With a minute remaining in the third Quarter Williams ran Williams for this second field goal he has four iseland putting moves on curve and hitting Michael Jordan leading Chicago with 30 points mler another assist for Jordan that is number seven he is three assists away from his first ever triple double in the NBA finals of
Defense stockt in three now that’s one of the most fluid plays that the Jazz have run in quite some time coret getting the pass to The Cutting Keef and the Bulls now lead 8164 when Chicago did struggle has couldn’t capitalize and the shooting woes continue this has to be
Awfully disappoint alone but with the tip because he talked to the coaches after the first game and they were not obviously you don’t like to lose on a last second shot but they were not disgusted because they felt they were correctable of things they could adjust even talk about the turnovers they felt
There was a lot that they can certainly make adjustments but they have not they’re just going to have to totally regroup and come out with a rededicated purpose Jordan Harper on the break and Harper goes all the way so the bones lead it 8766 ptoc fires one up and hits Jeff
Porac with a with a two-pointer everything on Carl at the front of the rim well he has developed the habit and it’s become his shot where he doesn’t really turn and square up and face the basket it’s kind of a half turn now you were talking earlier about the carel
Shot in the in the footwork great defensive players great defensive teams like Jordan and the Bulls they worked nonstop on making other players use bad footwork that’s something that the BS have done as they continue to pick apart Jordan getting closer and closer to that triple double that’s assist number nine
He is one assist away from a triple double his first in NBA Finals play Anderson able to hit Chicago blls on their way to taking a 20 lead there miss that would have been assist number 10 Scotty Michael’s telling the pimper name will you please make a layup
Russell and the ball’s now lead 9179 Stockton this is all cosmetic shot clock at six Rodman’s pass picked off a lazy pass thrown and here comes Stockton corack for Three and the Jazz very much alive they are within eight points with a minute and a half to go a four shooting fourth quarter by Chicago four of 17 Dennis Rodman and the Bulls now lead 9785 that was a three for Rodman final seconds the Chicago BS have defeated the Utah Jazz
97 85 a chant of MVP for car Malone right from the start although that can do funny things in the opposite way because they could also fire up number 23 Michael Jordan well Michael has said from the very beginning of this so-called controversy that it didn’t bother him good luck to Carl
Malone he deserved it but Michael Jordan does not like to come in second in anything Dennis robman with a new look and Jordan being played by Brian Russell fires over him for three not a single dribble on that entire possession everybody touched it Jordan Beats the
Shot clock for the three je por aack for Carl Malone putting moves on Luke now two and first of all Utah making the switch defensively the bigger russle mighte Force Jordan outside and Carl Malo going to another familiar place at that high right elbow shot clock is down to
Four corac with a nice pass so Russell gives the Jaz a one-point lead B Lan and sa by R Utah 38 and3 here at Delta Center second best home record in the NBA again the room for Jordan all set up by Scotty Pippen going to the mismatch inside against horc drew the
Defense and then they leave Jordan alone that’s his second from downtown Russell it’s a three for Brian Russell the Jazz by one open for three yes well both clubs have come out firing from long range horos are able to hit although piing got a piece of it game
Tied at nine four minutes have gone by Utah has opened up hitting four of its first six shot oh the KCK but on and OST tag both buying four and the Jazz lead 119 I know Jerry SLO likes Russell on Jordan because of the 6′ seven the long arms about 225 lb

That he was your MVP Scotty Pickman is a we a tandem it’s hard to split us up he means a lot to me when I go out and play on the basketball court he releves a lot of the pressure that I have to deal with
I try to do the same for him it’s hard to take this MVP by myself he’s got to take half of it I’ll take the trophy he may get the call Scotty the first one had to be real sweet what about the fifth one this one
Is great it was a lot tougher for it’s a very difficult task to beat the Utah Jazz we take our hats off to him they gave us a hell of a series but we stepped up as Champions to do and we brought it back home for number five yes
Sir the Delta Center in Salt Lake City one of the loudest buildings in all of sports a place where the Jazz enjoy a distinct home court advantage and where a sellout crowd is ready to rock the rafters for game one of this rematch in the NBA Finals good news for jazz fans
In the past quarter Century prior to this one there have been five rematches in the NBA finals in every instance the team that lost the first time came back to win the second Malone’s first shot doesn’t get the roll Foster trying to follow knocked away cleanly out of
Bounds to Utah five on the shot clock Kos out of the corner it’s Harper somebody’s got a shoot at Harper will and it’s 2-1 Chicago we know that’s the guy that’s going to have to make jump shots Stockton the NBA’s all-time leader in assists and steals bounces to Malone guarded by
Longle he’s 0 for two k coach has it Bulls looking to run Harper the trailer tries another one same [Applause] result Harper’s two jumpers put Jerry Sloan’s team behind 4 to one and we played a bit less than two minutes Utah has missed its first four field goal attempts that’s the end of
That string as Stockton Wales in up the left side of the lane hippen his first shot rolls around and doesn’t drop horc has it ahead to Malone to the hoop and Utah claims the lead for a man so big and strong Malone runs the floor so well even as he
Approaches age 35 Jordan cans the turnaround over horn now that time they didn’t come double team Jordan in the low post he took his time and was able to elevate over hornack hippen got in the passing Lane Cuts in front of hornack now it’s one on
Two but Scotty takes it to the hole himself for the emphatic slam Stockton’s jumper got it there’s that screen row we talked about they forced it Baseline and Malone stepped up and Screen Baseline no one stepped out and stock he can make that shot he’s a 50% shooter Malone
Underneath Buster contact but they Let It Go no foul that comes Chicago theone with a great pass to a cutting Russell good look and the Jazz in front again 98 corc looked for Malone threw it over his head and longly takes [Applause] it Hipp and Stutter Step into the lane
LS it up and in a year ago in the finals Michael averaged more than 30 Hipp and 20 against the Jazz no other bull averaged more than eight Michael Turn Around sandwiched by two Defenders count the basket plus the foul Eisley takes it into Lane throws it up with the right
Hand and hits the floater meanwhile Ahad Rashad tells us that Phil Jackson wanted to put Rodman in and Dennis hadn’t made it back from the locker room to the bench that’s why Simkins is in it’s one thing to be idiosyncratic it’s another thing to be idiotic kach got it
Eisley inside Morris for the reverse Eisley penetrated as he blew past Harper he’s lightning quick Malone from Eisley to the basket and with pure strength although he took a hit he maintains control and lays it in here’s Randy Brown the matchups in this series may allow Brown to play more minutes than he
Did against Indiana but not if he does that he threw it away Eisley pull up open Utah has the lead out to Pitman in the lane for Simpkins knocked away and stolen it’s a four-on-one great Eisley to [Applause] Anderson Rodman’s pass to a cutting Bush was a good feed but they couldn’t finish
It Russell on morard and suddenly it’s a wide openen game with the Jazz up by half a dozen Kos hits the hook at the other end it’s Morris bumps off a Defender and lays it in Isaiah can’t you feel how Utah is trying to run they’re trying to run the Bulls they’re
Saying they have played a lot of basketball games and OT seven game series they’re really trying to push this Tempo at home Anderson around busher little Up and Under move and the Jazz in front by eight listen to this crowd of the Delta Center Jordan quiets it just a
Bit Stockton into the lane on cerr off Bon got it the chant is beat the Bulls beat the Bulls But first you have to stop Michael Jordan nine points now for Jordan who’s guarding Eisley eisy spins around him and cans the jumper hard to believe this kid was
Caught once by Utah and also by Minnesota and San Antonio Dennis fans taunting him Kerr pops a baseline jumper and hits it quick release before Stockton could get there Pippen with Jordan on his left his pass knocked Away by Stockon who flips it to Russell who pushes it up the floor
And it’s finished by Shandon Anderson who coach toer head fake jumper missed it off the glass Pippen has the follow Anderson on Jordan horc trying to guard Pippen coming over to help is Malone to swat it away Bob I’ve never seen Chicago Miss so many wide open and easy layups
But how about that one as Jordan whirls through the defense seems like almost every member of the Jazz had a look at him before he laid it in Jordan quick catch and shoot 15 for Michael but the Jazz will live with that because he’s not getting to
The free throw line they’re going to hope that maybe if he shoots under 50% they’ll limit the offensive rebounds with no double team and the end result will be a good one for the Jazz good pass inside from Hornes to Malone great high low action there and Rodman was just completely sealed behind
Malone yeah Malone is too big for Rodman he caught him that time on his back but Chicago will keep going inside with their big guards curve from Scotty when he gets a look like that that he won’t often miss Michael single coverage and that’s what happens same spot same dance
Same music Stockton has a good look and puts the jumper down see they come out of their timeout they run screen roll they know that Rodman is not going to help off of Malone so he set that sideline screen once again and Stockton is an excellent shooter her to Michael
As they go to the man with the hot hand again single coverage by Anderson Hornet comes over Michael with the Up and Under count it and he’ll come to the line with a chance to reach 20 points in the first half Stockton on the move and thanks it
Home what a tough shot by Stockton they tried to run the same play this time Cur forced him back into the middle so they’ll hold it for the last one Stockton fires and it’s again big first half just a step inside the line Malone over Rodman in and out and Harper takes [Applause]
It hippen to the ho or hold that’s a combination of hoop and hole to the Hool don’t use that Z Hornes SEC has it it’ll be Stockton who has 15 what a great pass Isa on that given go from the top you fall asleep a little bit hores
SEC finally gets off here with a layup over for four in the first half into the lane tried to find Rodman poked away to Pippen and his three is no good Rodman with board position Michael hits the open three and matches the number on his uniform with 23 points two coach looking
For help five on the 24 dribbles it off his foot and Russell battling for the loose ball comes up with it pull up [Applause] jumper Utah by six timeout Chicago here’s Foster deals to Russell drives on Pippen and it’s a tough hoop Russell’s Got Game he’ll take it to
The basket he’ll shoot the three on you he’s a good Defender long way inside off a nice speed Jordan turn around on hornek rebound longly and there’s the follow Stockton to Foster who hits the jumper Longley drops it off for the driving Pippen who had to change the
Shot but was good enough to do it it’s Malone over Longley little bump doesn’t get the wall on the shot but it’s tipped in by Oster tag who takes about 3 seconds to make this presence felt Bulls inbound and it’s Michael off the dribble against horac misses
Alber Rodman gets it to Longley and Longley with his third Basket in a short stretch here in the third quarter ecy Drives By Harper shoots on the run and Bs it in Russell to Malone he takes it to the basket and scores around Longley trying to get himself on tracked offensively
Here that was great ball movement and and Carl Malone did the right thing drive it to the front of the rim and score Jordan on the set up on him with the left hand he leans into the lane and tosses it home well Bill Walton said earlier part of the reason why Utah
Lost the final a year ago was that Malone became a jump shooter too often set play out of a timeout realizing Michael Jordan overplays pressure release good back door pass to Jeff horc who makes a tough shot longle oh tag collects the Carol Rodman all over him but he gets it out to
Eake bounces to horac two in a row for Jeff Utah by eight matching their biggest lead hippen hits a two-point bucket just a step inside the line to cut it to six Isley in the lane the Malone blocked by Longley and out of bounds to Utah dou I get the feeling
That Chicago is just trying to hang around hang around until the last 5 minutes minutes of the game and hopefully Michael Jordan can take him home well 12 by eight Russell connects B set play to get a two for one possession about 3se second differential on the clock through three quarters both Pippen
And Jordan had played 33 of 36 minutes so they need a breather and kach gives them the offense that had been missing from him through most of the game Russell behind the screen from Carr takes a leaner and the bank is open for him that’s one of that’s one of those
When you’re playing against him you make him call that one Carr Rodman picks him up on a switch his pass outside picked off by barell who’s all alone the steel in the hoop as he cut in front of Russell and Utah wants a timeout here’s barell on the run and he banks it
[Applause] in outside Kerr splits the defense but trying to get rid of it the K coach has it picked off by Russell ahead to Stockton now Malone Carl Malone an MVP candidate this year and last year the MVP will eventually make those shots eventually they will go down for you you just have
To have enough nerve and enough heart to keep shooting the basketball he’ll take it to the basket and slam it Utah by seven see Scotty tippen trying to chase him out of the double team by running at the ball Chris Morris off the glass and good we move in side four minutes
Michael good look and he puts it down Jordan from 20 good again now when Jordan shot that shot he turned around and made a little sound and just said Woo Jordan just screamed at pip and he wants the basketball Scotty to tie brand new [Applause] game Malone screening out High Stockton
Returns it to him Malone drives lays it up blocked by Rodman great play by Rodman at a crucial moment Stockton trying to get it to Malone in the post he fires again and finally hits one and John Stockton looked at him and said look you’re our guy take us home
They come to their feet every last Soul at the Delta Center stopped it shot clock winding down Malone has to two in a row and what a time to come alive it’s Scotty back to Michael Russell’s on him around a longly screen Michael dishes to longly up with the shot to tie the
Game timeout Utah with 14.3 seconds even at 79 Russell into Hornet now it’s Stockton out of the corner for the win bounces off no good and it’s overtime in game one Malone from Stockton all the way to the basket 21 from Malone poked Away by horac taken
By Stockton who’s chased by Jordan but blazs it in anyway and he was fouled by cerr and Stockton looking around with the great finish and a chance to put his team up by five which he does and Michael wants that basketball back again hippen flips it to him turn around
Fade Away got it 33 that’s amazing what this man can do Under Pressure Chicago doesn’t have to foul because of the overlap it’s stocked in on the run and it’s Utah by four Chicago uses its last timeout with 9.3 seconds remaining in overtime kach looking to get it in Jordan back to kach
They need a three and kach delivers it with 5.4 seconds bringing them to within one 4.8 Malone into Stockton and he dribbles a bit of time off the clock before they can catch him and foul him with 3 seconds left and not the guy that you want to send to the line if
You’re Chicago three-point lead kach down to Michael with Russell on him he tips it to Pippen can he beat the horn he can but he misses it and game one goes to Utah in overtime major deciel levels being reached at the delta the center even
Before tip off and with the Jazz up 10 in the series The Trends Point their way they have now won seven consecutive playoff games dating back to the San Antonio series while the Bulls have lost four of their last six playoff encounters including the last four games
On the road hippen had it poked Away by Russell regains it but eventually loses it to Hornet stopped it on the Move got it one a sec on Michael Fade Away ties it a [Applause] two stocked into horc left hand [Applause] no Hipp and accelerating double pumps and Banks it [Applause]
Home hor sec to Malone that’s the play they worked on in practice they were not patient and make the top the pass to the top in game one they made the extra pass high low Malone had him sealed right underneath the basket hippen into the lane lost control of it back tap to
Michael his floater gives Chicago a 6-4 lead Malone against Longley Stockton for [Applause] three John Stockton at age 36 coming up big in the NBA Finals Kos hits off the Baseline you can see early the Bulls are going into the post and the double team flashing to the open area here’s
Hornek out to Russell he’ll fire a three Utah did not hit a single three-pointer in game one and they’ve got two of them tonight already Jordan’s Miss is tip to Pippen and it could be a three-point play as he banks it home and will come to the line
Horek Jordan got a piece of it horc recovers muscles it up and in and this could be a three-point play as Utah has taken the lead [Applause] 12-11 Jordan his third field goal and the Bulls are back to within one at 1413 Malone helping on a double team with
Jordan Pippen slices through the defense and slams it see when you come with size Malone came to double team with size forced the long J over in the corner and then Pippen penetrated the lane for the easy dunk Russell pulls up and hits off the glass now see Tony cach was back yelling
At the referee and nobody got back defensively to Brian Russell you cannot be concerned that you didn’t get the call you must get back and Jordan just told K coach don’t argue with the officials do that instead score and give us the lead again Rodman to Pippen outside to Harper now Michael Baseline
And he starts the same way he began game one on fire Mone with the slam his jumper is still missing an action but with his strength if you can get him inside it’s over huko quick first step and finishes it with the layup Malone tries another jumper and this one is
There that’s the same shot he got in game one and he’s got to make that shot that’s within their offense he made it all season long K coach spins on Russell and hits the Little leftand Hook see Russell has just giving up too much size to cuot on the
Low post Chandon Anderson’s first shot the Up and Under works exactly what they did in game one the moment Chandon Anderson came in the game they went into the post he got two quick fouls the other night against buer this time he gets the score Rodman screening for [Applause]
Cerr pipman in the lane with the hook Scotty pipman now has has nine pulls by one kach makes it three as he continues his outstanding play he has 10 Malone with the bench replaced by Carr and there’s chanon Anderson well they tried to change the matchup first verell fouled
Him then they went right back to him and he scores once more Carr sets the screen then gets it back takes it to the hole and hits with the Left Hand Luke long Le to Pippen great feed that was a great feed in a nice cut Jordan gab Pippen a little brush screen
And Pippen cut really hard and longly hit him with a pass Pippen draws two Defenders he finds longly knowing Jerry slown the way I do the thing he’s going to be upset right now is Chicago’s in a great flow offensively and Utah’s got to be really careful right here because
Chicago has their two best players and Jordan and pipping on the floor Isley drove around two Defenders to lay it in last foul on Chris Morris his second barell a three got it Antoine Carr Returns the pass to Morris on a great look but Chris couldn’t finish
It see those are momental Breakers right now if Chicago comes down scores it’s a six-point game and they do come down and score on Michael’s great assist to Longley here is Malone after the timeout right to the hoop on L now you see Malone taking and go aggressive right
There and Jim Gray just told us that Jer Sloan really got on his team in a huddle and wanted them to compete harder Stockton snap pass to e Ley gives it up to Oster tag and Utah moves to within one stock it on Cur kach open passes up the three to
Find Jordan beneath the hoop see Jordan caught Stockton on the screen and made him switch and went right to the rim and kach found him for the easy layup Malone over Longley short got his own lays it in it looks like Carl Malone is trying to shoot that jumper a little quick K
Coach lets it Go and cans the three there’s a fan that holler behind us shoot at Tony and he lined up the three and knocked it down Anderson gets inside Jordan and finishes it how about the respect for shanon Anderson Michael Jordan on him in the post they still go
To him long lead to the cutting Jordan and Michael has a dozen looking for Michael guarded This Time by Stockton poer tag is there with help they swing it around and kach is open again this time he misses the three however Longley pokes it back to
Him Cur for three and Jerry Sloan has to be gritting his teeth over on the Utah bench as Chicago continues to dominate on the offensive blast well Malone started running out instead of getting the rebound nobody there to Guard C coach and he gets the second shot Jordan
Swats it away from Anderson and out of bounds the Utah fans contend that Anderson was fouled but the officials say Michael got it cleanly here’s Oster tag one out of one on that one hornek lets it Go CUO got there late and hornek connects stopt him out
To Malone driving on Pippen gets his own rebound goes to the floor no call gets it off to Russell now Stockton Jerry slus liit he feels like it Michael Jordan is getting his call why isn’t Carl Malone stopped into Oster tag and Longley fouled him and the shot fell
Anyway Co coach off the dribble finds Harper in the corner now it’s Michael double pumps and connects 16 for him that was an unbelievable shot the ball was knocked away from him Hornes SEC came from behind he had to pull it down and shot a trolley wire jumper I don’t know if the
Thing went into the basket horac with room and with two first two plays the game Utah gone right at Michael Jordan they said we’ve got to make him use some energy hores SEC hits the open jumper Dennis is on Malone Stockton fires a jumper and it’s there for him see when
The ball goes into the post the guard split on the outside so you can’t double team and Stockton is shooting the ball very well Foster’s back in here he is guarding kach Oster tag has gone out kach on the Run airball Jordan there to clean up the
Mess for the 30 first time now in 31 NBA finals games in six different series counting this one Michael Jordan has scored at least 20 points in every game horx spinning move Harper bumps into Stockton no foul and the hoop once again Harper and the post against Stockton they’re going to try to
Punish him down they’re make him play some post defense so he can’t roam hippen looking for Michael trying to post up on horac spins around him two Jazz Defenders surrounded him and they take the ball away corc throws it right to Rodman and Jordan is all
Alone and he saers in how about Dennis Rodman before he even touched the basketball he knew Jordan was down court and he just touched it real quick and flipped it back Russell on Pippen Michael inside missed it rebound Malone Stockton bumps off Pitman finds Russell for three and Cur Stripped by Stockton
Here’s ke ahead of the field blew the layup Malone is there corn SEC for three it works out better for Utah the game is tied Harper’s open Stockton takes it pushing it up the floor all the way to the hoop Utah has the lead corc will bring it back now takes a
Little lunger and somehow hits it man he’s got a wide array of shots and seems to be able to change it in midair if the defense makes him wisely around Kerr pull up floater good h finds barell all alone two behind the Rodman screen he overshoots a three but Jordan grabs it
And slams it just the power of Michael Jordan hornek was trying so hard to block him off the glass Isaiah and he just sort of pushed him to the side for the second shot 24 for MJ game tied at 68 isy another pullup another basket see that’s eisy shot that little floater
That little mid-range game Isley to Carr head fake on Winnington then the pass inside for Keith who bats it to Eisley for a [Applause] three Rodman shoots from ahead of the key and connects even he has to say hey go figure here’s Steve cerr an open three
It rattles in and out hip and clears the offensive glass kach is open but gives it back to Scotty for the turnaround and he gets the roll Utah has got the rebound horac is on Jordan Michael double pumps and hits off the glass Jordan with 26 hippen to Michael with the shot clock
Winding down against hornek Michael’s going to do it two Defenders a whistle count the basket plus the foul as Jerry Sloan contends from the bench that Michael travel it’s the fourth foul on hornack now how can you guard a guy any tighter than this you got two Defenders
Over there you make him take the shot you really want him to take and he just hits it see Bob Michael Jordan understands right now that it’s time it’s time to put on the push right now and he’s going after it right now and can Utah stop the adrenaline in a push
That Jordan is getting ready to exert in this game Malone Russell wide open hits the three what a big shot by Brian Russell Malone now is on Jordan they better help him he’s got five fouls Russell comes over Michael into the lane left hand got it taking this game over now Jordan On
The Run dishes out to Pippen Scotty Baseline Chicago by six Stockton to Russell Russell on the Move nice feed to chanon Anderson and this could be a three-point play Michael behind a Rodman screen Russell fights it off Jordan forces the shot and misses it Utah canre it’s Stockton horac for
Three Utah has the lead Kerr has to guard it Stockton gets by him but his pass is intercept accepted by crew [Applause] coach Kerr pull up three no got his own rebound Michael hits it and Chicago reclaims the lead there’s a foul as well Michael Jordan has taken 33 shots
To score 34 points but what’s important is that his team now leads by a basket Russell again the trigger man having trouble Malone now Russell gets it back good look at a three and it BS in and out Morris follows with 3.7 seconds making it a three-point game now the
Bulls have to get it in and knowing they have a timeout remaining Rodman uses it Harper into Jordan Russell pushed him they didn’t get the first call then Stockton makes contact with 1.7 and they whistle play dead and send Michael to the line and Sloan is arguing
That he was fouled the first time 37 for [Applause] Michael Stockton from half court Chicago comes into Salt Lake City weary or not and gets out with a split Longley and Oster T each at 72 jump it up and Jordan grabs it for Chicago Malone Wast no time and hits the
Jump shot prior to that through the first two games he’d hit three more jumpers than a dead man three of 22 but he starts out by connecting on his first one tonight Hornet who scored 20 in game two hitting seven of 11 Mal two of two see the thing that I like
What Carl Malone has done his first shot came from inside on the post he was able to get inside get the easy shot that gave him confidence and then he stepped on the perimeter Malone bum Jordon no foul he back rims the jumper and here comes Utah three on two Stockton to
Malone threw it behind him now JN recovers a rare errant pass from Stockton well Stockton was upset cuz if big man had a Duncan he would have been three for three he took away an easy basket he’s three for three anyway as he slices through the defense meanwhile
Jordan is 0 for three Michael with longly trying to scream for him spins around hor theack and hits off the glass good pass inside the long give the assist to Harper just a second field goal and nine attempts in the early going for Chicago Malone again squaring
Up over long four in a row the Rhythm though he he’s catching it ice there he’s taking his time he’s not in any hurry Malone this time he drives same result though whether it’s to the hoop or from the perimeter he’s five of five ahead to Russell on the Run nice move
But it won’t fall that comes Chicago three on two Jordan against Hornes gives it up to Pippen and that cuts it to 107 and although his team leads by three Jerry Sloan has to continue to be displeased with Chicago’s dominance of the offensive glass Stockton becomes the
First player other than Malone to score for Utah Malone Fade Away on Rodman 6 for six longly against Oster tag with the hook Isley with 4 seconds to shoot Isley has it blocked by Harper who continues his outstanding defensive play Michael in traffic deals to C coach and now long
The bounce to kach on the return and he lays it in to tie the game one of two but kach is there to turn it into a three-point trip down the floor Rodman turns his shot is blocked partially by Malone and taken by Russell stocked it on Cur around a Rodman screen
With the bounce to Pippen Scotty into the lane he banks it home that was a nice hesitation move by Scotty Pippen he froze the defender went down the lane shot the Run off the glass here’s Scotty Morris is on him into the lane another Runner he hits it P he’s coming to the
Line Chandon Anderson against Burell and he finally puts an end to a long Utah drought Burell gave Chicago 15 decent minutes in game two this is Anderson inside and it drops for him but if barell does not hit open jumpers like the one a moment ago he’s not of much
Use to Phil Jackson Pippin behind Bell’s screen and Scotty drills it he’s got eight Michael got Anderson into the air but doesn’t unleash the shot now when you overplay that man in the corner their pressure released is to cut back door how often have we seen it in the Playoffs loose ball battle Scotty to the floor Anderson finally comes up with it stopped it inside to Morris and the assist for John as you know know the all-time NBA assist leader Jordan at the other end gets the two for Chicago Chicago trying to add to the
Game’s biggest lead Jordan Camp kach has the loose ball and Chicago has a 12-point lead Stockton on the move back outside the Malone now it’s Russell just before the shot clock he hits a two-pointer his foot was just on the arc Harper inside dealing it back
Outside to kach for three which hits the front of the rim Stockton now pegging it ahead to Russell the trailer is for AAC and he’s got [Applause] it hippen give the assist to Harper Jordan into the lane and he gets the roll he has 14 Stockon two Malone Carl
On the run a little Hook is an airball and Geor protects the rebound Robin’s doing an excellent job on Malone taking away his drive a great catch by kach that was more impressive than the basket itself who coach looking for Michael and finding him spins on HC to
The left hand an absolute Beauty as the shot clock winds down Stockton trying to find somebody horc looking to create on his own nice move but he doesn’t hit the shot Harper bumps off Stockton and lays it in Stockton looking up at the official petta saying hey come on where’s the
Charge but he was inside the dotted area Chicago by 16 and hornack takes two off of it now K coach likes to drive left Rodman gives it right back to him three on the shot clock fade away that’s the way it’s going for Chicago a steal by barell
Can’t add two but Harper pokes it away and finally mercifully for Utah the half comes to a close but wait a minute barell took a tumble see that’s a careless play you throw away the inbounds pass you get John stocked in a foul and it’s after kcko makes the great
Shot now they’re going to end up the half with two free throws that’s a terrible momentum play for Utah going in at half Chicago has been stifling with their defense the bulls look to take their advantage to 20 Kos does just that Longley fires from 20 and makes it
A 22 Point Chicago Lee BS going for the kill Longley batted Away by oer TCH no goal 10 despite Michael’s please here’s Russell Malone and finally Utah is in the scorebook almost 3 minutes into the third quarter corac Baseline rever reverse got it and that was a nice seal by car
Malone against Luke Longley underneath Jordan to the hole wrapped up by Oster tag and somehow some way he scores Oster tag doesn’t give him a good hard enough foul see you got to grab that right hand don’t let him get the shot off here’s a man 72 and 280 trying
To wrap you up and somehow you have the strength and the body control to get off a reason able shot oer T from Russell lley stops him now he tries it J and that’s way short flat-footed rebound to Luke ahead to [Applause] Pippen Harper alone Chicago by
23 this just target practice right now for the Chicago B and some of these jazz players may be guny looks like they’re bypassing open opportunities who coach [Applause] won’t Eisley has it knocked away but hornek is there to pick it up to Malone inside and now he has 20 Russell with
The head fake and the Miss it’s batted to Jordan and Utah just can’t cut in to this 20-point deficit make it 22 now Michael the assist Harper the slam and Harper could be closing in on a triple double Russell blocked by barell into the arms of
Harper no look flip back to Scott 24 Point Chicago Advantage as they run a clinic on the Utah Jazz Jordan takes it upon himself and builds the lead to 26 robod gets it from Burell and can’t finish it second try there it is Anderson from Isley hits the three
When you get embarrassed you don’t don’t have to say much these guys all have great pride iy steals it from Rodman Adam Keef now with the slam and Chicago have more playmakers that can make plays than Utah does at this point in time here’s barell he gets the [Applause]
Roll you know at some point in time you’re going to lose games you just got to have enough composure discipline and concentration to stay true to your character Pippen Perell how about that Rodman threw the long touchdown pass Hitman caught it backpedaling and verell finished it with a Nifty leftand lay
Malone and Stockton both on the bench right now with this game out of hand Morris spinning and hitting off the glass Chicago by 27 barell cutting through and longly finding him they’re just picking him apart right now Utah didn’t even talk on that interchange you
Know a lot of teams Z at this point in time in the game you see players try to do things that they’re not cap of doing maybe that was one of them he missed it badly Morris did Kerr Wide Open look at a three and finally he gets off now that was in
Character Kei sends it back outside to moris Rainbow is almost banked in for three cerr hler cerr for three again good again he had that shot the first time he said I got to get my buddy Jud busher from Arizona a shot he gave it back to

It is a virtual certainty that Utah will set a new low for points in a Finals game bushler bats it to Simkins he gets the dunk and now only Randy Brown and Bill Winnington have to be accounted for vaugh again and he comes up empty once more Oster tag can’t find the
Handle 2 and 1/2 minutes until this nightmare ends for Utah buler wants another three he’s got it I don’t think Phil Jackson completed this I I looked over and the and the look on his face was I wish we could save some of these it’s not going to be
This easy on Wednesday night on to the basket no again well Utah’s going to break the record dubious as it is for fewest points Randy Brown he gets his bucket and now it’s only Winnington who hasn’t scored among all the players in uniform for Chicago Winnington the only
Bull who hasn’t scored so let him do it well the evening is complete every eye has been dotted every tea has been crossed BAU at the buzzer a total humiliation for the Utah Jazz beaten by 42 and held to the lowest scoring output in the history of the NBA

Pitman converts his second three here’s a Utah steal well at that time Scotty Pitman was laying at the free throw line and the referee didn’t know who he was guarding because the weak side everybody was jammed up over there hor SEC missed but Malone was there with the tip Jordan ties the
Game Michael has five and he’s hit two of his first six hipping and long Ley guarding Malone he finds cor Baseline L drive and a bounce to Foster they love some offense from him they don’t get it here rebound Russell Malone now comes up with it there’s his first Miss but he’ll follow

Michael over Anderson who blocks it on him Pippen picks it up Shandon Anderson with the block on Michael Jordan pippens turn around misses it badly it comes to Michael and he finishes it that just so dispirit you as a team Isaiah you’re playing great defense and you just can’t come up with
The rebound from 20 it’s Michael finally finding the range on his jumper which hasn’t been there for the most part in this first half who coach for Michael against Russell Up and Under and two to end the half as only he can Malone got it the Malone came off
That little screen and he set right in the post when he didn’t get it he just moved out two more feet Stockton delivered it and he turned it around for the the post up J Harper into the lane got [Applause] it left him alone and Utah’s back to within one as
Carl has 15 hipping to Michael spins into the lane and slams it you can’t die for the steel not on Michael Jordan if you’re going to go for that steel you better be 100% sure you’re going to get it because if not what you give up is
The D Malone stamped through the lane and hit hitting the hook as he gets the roll Isaiah LC Lucas just cannot handle him tonight hippen the head fake on horac and he connects on the jumper his first after five consecutive misses here is Harper and kach the beneficiary of his
Pass see Harper force and stocking to that left side of the court again Chief and he delivers right there with the pass and here is Pippen does the game turn here here crowd more into it than they have been all night Harper on eand it’s Malone through the
Lane and silencing that crowd just a bit Jordan wants it into low post against hornack he’s got it and he’s got the hook 23 for him Russell from Eisley over kcko got it that’s a huge shot it’s a two-point bucket he was just inside the line 5551 Bulls Eisley with the
Four barell from Rod and count the bucket and bring him to the line Hipp and look for a quick TI for one and he hits the three bom man oh man Eisley can he answer yes he can with 7.8 on the clock Harper looking for a long pass but you regroups defensively
Michael ready to work got it remember he was able to rest the entire fourth quarter of game three then had two days off there was a practice mixed in but two days off without having a play Stockton bounces to Carr open and hits Stockton double team finds the open
Man and Chris Morris connects on a two out of the corner stockt him with a good pass to Anderson and this could be a three-point play of the two other members of The Big Three for Utah besides Malone had to step up offensively neither has Stockton does
Have eight assists to go with his Five Points W second has scored only four and he shot Portland Stockton now with seven as he was left alone at the foul line curse slipped and now he’s limping Anderson from Malone lays it in after Harper’s fourth foul gave Utah the ball
On the side and it’s a one-point game with 525 remaining crew coach is open but it’s short and Stockton takes the rebound away from him tomoris on the one Utah claims the lead Michael gets the lead back for Chicago Michael Anderson alone on him jumper over it won’t go rebound
Malone again they can tie or take the lead with a three it’s verc to the basket and it’s a brand new new game with 315 left Anderson who’s done a good job defensively on Jordan Michael test it again and this time gets the hoop remember Anderson’s playing with five
Fouls into Morris for the dunk as Jordan got there late again a one-point game Jordan Pon leaning on him Michael spits and scores Bob you got to run at him right now they got two guys on the floor Harper brell you got to make somebody else make a shot right now Stockton to
The basket knocked away from him but it comes to horac who hits It’s a two-pointer Jordan with Russell on leans it Baseline and misses loose ball crucial loose ball picked up by stockin and there’s a foul it’s on Malone his third you know Bob so much is said about Dennis Rodman
A lot of the things that that occur when he’s not playing basketball and I know Isaiah you played with him but look at the will that this man has to go to this ball he just wants it a little bit more than everybody else right Now they call it on Mone for pulling him down and if they a third in row he’s been a huge part of all of it he makes them both a 55% free throw shooter who has canned four crucial ones in the last couple of minutes Malone has to shoot
The three and actually his foot is on the line so it becomes a two-pointer which only cuts the lead to five and Stockon fouls Jordan that’s Jordan’s 34th point and now they just play out the final seconds hits a three at the Buzzard it counts and Chicago wins it by four the
Bulls are 30 and two at at home in the playoffs over the last 3 years and 8 and0 on this floor in the finals this year last year against the Jazz and the year before against Seattle remember 1993 in the Old Chicago Stadium Phoenix down three games to one manag to
Win the fifth game in Chicago and force it back to America West arena for game six and potentially game seven and if John Paxton doesn’t can the three Phoenix is looking at a game seven on its home floor Chicago fans should not view this as a forgone conclusion and
Then Stockton again he scored only seven but he did have 13 assists in game four Malone’s first shot is there against the defense of Luke Longley he’s shooting 54% when Rodman guards him it falls to 32% Michael’s first touch over Russell can’t tie it Stockton grabs the rebound they’ve got a
Three-on-one if they hurry with only kcko back and it’s Kei to finish it off great start here for the Utah Jazz PPP pass inside for kach and it’s Chicago’s first basket plus a foul Jordan to kach Tony with all five of Chicago’s points that time off a great assist from
Jordan Malone again over longle and he hits two of his first three to echo the earlier thoughts of Bill Walton I think Carl Malone has got to go out if he goes out here with guns blazing kach inside another chance for a three-point play kach getting off early Stockton all kinds of
Room and ties the game at eight knocked away from behind by Malone good defensive play here Comes Utah Stockton to the hoop see I Like the Way Stockton has come out approaching this game he’s attacking he’s their leader and Utah will follow his lead Stockton gives it
To Malone oh that was beautiful Scotti Pippen jumped out to try to get over that screen roll and Stockton crossed him over Malone slipped it now that’s Utah basketball right there that’s that’s the screen roll at his beautiful bass here’s Foster returning it to Malone getting it back from him and laying it
In hippen over [Applause] Hornet kach tremendous body control and he now has 10 right through Foster’s hands and taken by Rodman kach for the tie he has all but one of Chicago’s points hor a sec on Pippen Ry hits the reverse see they’re looking to exploit Pippen against hornack the smaller guard
Malone over Rodman hits the jumper that was an aggressive move even though he didn’t get to the basket he put the ball on the deck made a good hard dribble pulled up and shot it that’s what he’s going to do last 20 seconds of the quarter tied at
16 Jordan there’s his first field goal Jordan sitting as the second period begins Malone over Rodman and got it this is what he has to do ping against Morris isley’s on cerr Scott barell in for the first time guarded by Shandon Anderson K coach has been
High and he stays that way what a great and under move Tony kach gets the defender off his feet the little lean in that’s a tough shot Jordan just one of six from the floor changes that a bit Anderson connects on the turnaround that’s been the whole series Anderson in
The block they go to him and he’s been able to score down there five on the 24 as Pippen backs away it’ll be Michael to beat the shot clock and hit it I that’s what you talk talked about Michael two field goals in a row hen with six on the shot
Clock Michael Baseline Fade Away hi arker good a beautiful rainbow and he’s beginning to feel it now they swing it over to Harper he misses off the Baseline and Morris takes the rebound there’s a whistle in the back court as Rodman and Malone were entangled and
It’s number one on Dennis keep our eye on Dennis Rodman he just grabbed him not a whole lot there he just sort of grabbed him by the waist I thought Malone tripped Dennis Rodman right there sure looked that way hor behind Malone’s screen got [Applause] it here’s Pippen doubled finds Michael
Who is stripped and Hornes SEC takes it ahead for Malone Rodman racing back Malone slams it uh-oh Malone gives Rodman a shot gave him an elbow after the play and and Billy Oak saw it Bob hey but you know what Doug I’m I’m glad Carl Malone in Utah finally got mad this
Is the first time in five games that one of the players has gotten a technical foul it’s about time he show some anger and a a little emotion and say hey I’m not going to take this anymore well you see Malone going in here for the fast
Break and thear told us it actually looked worse with the naked eye than it does in this replay and I think the officials are trying to get control of this game right away I don’t think I would have called but if you go back to the last play with Malone and robman
Getting tangled up and now this play you see the officials are really trying to keep a tight lid on it let’s go over to Jim Gray all right Bob Jerry Sloan asked Carl Malone during that timeout was it a foul he said no that’s a bad foul as we
Watch Michael Jordan go in fouled by shanon Anderson he said that’s a bad call I didn’t even get a good shot in Bob hone little bit of room hits it over Rodman 14 in the first half from Malone horac looking at it but can’t take it away from Pippen and now Scotty Wheels
To the basket and hits off the glass with the left hand Malone on Kos all the way to the hoop 17 points in this first half down Court to Anderson trying to get it back and does just before the buzzer a huge hoop for Shandon Anderson Jim thans third quarter underway Malone
Operating against longle trouble with the dribble but recovers piing gets a hand on it seconds to shoot Malone will and that’s the way the third quarter starts a good sign for Utah although their offense was not executed well on that possession Malone continues to shoot well especially from the
Perimeter Carl turns to face the basket shoots overloop two in a row to start the half Harper left alone for three Harper’s first basket of the night coming just when Utah was making some head it’s Malone again inside of Longley six quick points for him at the outset of the third par in
The lane left hand got it a onepoint game Jordan on Russ into a crowd dishes out to kach he is just on fire and intermission did nothing to cool him off go back to Malone backing in on Longley looking for help now shooting one off balance and he gets the roll on
It to bring Utah back to within one and give himself 20 two scks it up and misses clean it up Malone again count it and one Stockton to the B and Utah in front Stockton took a tumble but he’s okay hippen misses the three hard back the other
Way he pulls up and gives Utah an lead anine Carr has has really helped this team he’s given him another offensive player he’s given him a physical presence outside this is the best Rhythm they’ve been in all night long bob Michael again that’s the foul that’s his first basket of the
Second half it’s the third foul on Russell and Michael has 15 for the night jumper over on target get right Michael just did it better kep him in front of him had a hand in his face that’s why he the greatest player in the game they go to
Malone who kicks it back out to Stockton Carl with the turn around good over Rodman who fouled him Michael giv a little room by Russell drives on through the H and he’s got 20 coach thought about it gives it back to Pippen pack on him jumper
Over go but the rebound bounes to long he can’t finish it but eventually the ti there Malone he continues to carry the Utah Jazz as they try to Stave off elimination five on the shot clock kach for three cerr hits the three three pointers
By C Co for the end of the third and C at the beginning of the fourth make it a onepoint game doton looking for Anderson a drip offensively without Malone that’s one way to cure it though as Russel sticks a three Stockton’s going to have to carry the load in this
Fourth quarter because I’m not so sure Sloan’s going to P eely down the stretch alone again you know what I loved about that Brian Russell cut through and when he did longly had to step back and give him some space when they stand the Bulls
Can big and get back to their own people Scotty misses the three CS at the four Anderson into the layup through the basket remember that’s the guy that missed the two critical layups last year that might have won the game here for his team game six that would have pushed
A game seven Onley finds Michael taks him out of three and St s Scoops it up no good rebound out to Russell three on two it they for the slam that somehow fell he actually missed it but it popped up out of the basket and fell through luckily
For him in Utah and now the Jabs has the biggest lead at eight Malone into the lane doesn’t get the roll this time and TI snatches it down cerr room for a three Michael with room no what to do they need your advice and give it to
Malone and he has 35 Utah by five steals to Long St nice feed inside the and with the head fake he shakes himself free for the [Applause] layup from got now with Malone getting off on the inside in the post now Chicago has to come in double team the floor then up
In they’re afraid to double team because everybody can shoot the ball now for Utah they got to stay at home 37 for Malone Utah by seven here’s Malone eight on the shot clock out to hornack the dribble gets rid of it the car can he hit again
Y he’s been a man tonight I don’t know where he’s been early in this series but Antoine Carr if they win this game tonight will be the key factor they’re up by seven with a minute 50 on the clock K Co Malone from stop Malone 39 points and personally
Pushing this series back toward Utah cool coach play it in hippen he’s had a pool shooting night out to cach for three from five seconds it’s a one-point game into Stockton Ching Stockton gets away and tri Dives to foul him but with only 1 point one second remaining they
Couldn’t catch them to foul him soon enough a two Point Utah lead timeout Chicago Bulls ball at half court into Jordan a [Applause] Utah rip up the [Applause] headlines it is very much a series the Bulls are just four and four on the road in the playoffs and in fact they’ lost
Four of their last five Road games against their toughest opponents the Pacers and the Jazz Jordan guarded by Russell Hornes will open on Pippen he’ll try and post Scotty on him they go to it right away Stockton comes over on the double team now back to Scotty and they
Couldn’t recover Hornes was left alone with him and an easy two for Scotty it looks like Scotty Pippen is laboring as he moves up and down the court Ahmad told you is suffering from a bad back Malone hits his first 17 of 27 in game five hippin against Hornet
Draws does the double Harper’s the guy they’d like to leave alone H coach isn’t but this time he missfires corac lost the to longle now Pippen has it all along kach the one thing you don’t want to do if you’re Utah is get into a quick turnover battle here and give them easy
Points especially K coach horc from Stockton ties the game at four that was a great screen by Carl Malone coach you wonder if the Bulls went to K coach enough in game five with Jordan and Pippen struggling K coach was on fire but got only 13 shots Stockton drives on Harper ties the
[Applause] game hork is free but can’t hit horc is now 18 for 46 in the series Jordan there’s his first field goal and the Bulls take a 108 lead Utah has not been hitting the threes in in this series now 11 for 51 around 20% they
Shot 37% as a team from Beyond The Arc for the season Pippen with the hook here is Pippen out to Harper open fre missed it Malone battling Rodman and it’s tipped to Stockton Utah on the run but Stockton circles back outside to set it up you watch Malone and robman battling under the
Board Malone is going all out as he runs the floor they both kick each other a little bit the referees may clean that up Jordan for three got it Jordan with five and Chicago with a seven-point lead Mone on that left block this time against Rodman takes him into the lane tries to
Muscle up but loses it hip and back it was tied at eight now Chicago’s on a 70 run who coach underneath to an unguarded Harper and the Bulls have scored nine unanswered points so you watch car Malone in a low post they’re not double teaming him they’re letting robman play
Him 101 consequently when he goes up to put up the the shot he gets stripped Oster tag and Foster have given them nothing in this series good pass from Malone inside the horac who converts it are against kach jumper over him is good see they’ve got to go to that match up
There’s no way Tony CUO can play him he’s too powerful down there got to shoot it quickly Jordan Will with a hand in his face forell skies for the rebound loose to the side and eventually it’s Utah who has it here’s horac a pullup [Applause] three it’s Malone and it’s Utah with the
Lead only moments ago they Trail by nine Jordon Rodman on the offensive glass Winnington a good look Winnington will hit the open jumper Isley bounces to Malone tough shot but he can [Applause] it Jordan over Russell tied at 22 with half a minute to play in the period alone against
Winnington off balance hit it plus the [Applause] foul as Jim Gray reported before the game eisy has been suffering from vertigo apparently not dized by the heights of game six tonight sandon Anderson with a nice move Rodman good pass to kach Great back Cup by kach all
Right Bob I just found out that Scott they’re working on Scotty pier in the back and I’ve been told that Scotty says he’s telling the medical staff that he is not able to play so that could be the end of it for Scotty tonight Bob Jud
Pusher who may get more minutes as a result hits the shot from the side Michael Jordan is also back in Jordan in and out on him and Carr claims it car from Stockton there you go there you go Jordan Wheels inside around Anderson and again it’s a two-point game
Michael has 10 Malone in traffic got his own and put it back in that’s that first offensive rebound that you talked about Malone get it and got two points Jordan daylight for three 13 for Michael Utah by one if Pippen can’t go the rest of this game and if there is a game
Seven inside it goes to CL and he hits the layup how much more of the load can Jordan possibly carry he played 45 minutes on Friday night here is Tony Michael Springs free and takes the lob from kach great roll off for Russell faked up and spent off him kach put it
Right there for the easy lay in for Jordan horac returns it to Malone now has it back in a crowd and misses Anderson flies in can’t hit the tip Malone another try and there it is for Utah you see man didn’t even try to contest that shot underneath alone in
The lane Up and Under against Rodman he’s getting such deep position right now in Rodman the Utah Jazz are executing their offense to Perfection Jordan for three and there’s his answer I think that’s his third three of the game it is his third tonight and he has 19
Points Malone tries to answer and can and he has 20 a Jordan Malone du shaping up in game six H coach on the Run he’s in double figures now with 10 who coach on Russell gives him some room and Russell accepts The Challenge and drills the jumper Utah by two here’s
Michael he’s got 21 I’m watching Jordan and he’s in such a nice Rhythm offensively everything is coming very easy to him it’s cornac Jordan’s the guy they want even more so than usual and that’s why 15 of his 23 have come in this quarter stocked in from Malone beautiful
Slip on that play Stockton went across like he was going to set the screen on longly Michael relaxed just a moment He Slipped it the give and go Isaiah that was a beautiful play Malone the bounce to Russell two big assists in the last couple of possessions for Malone all
Right Jim and here we go Utah in possession as we start the third quarter Malone right to work out to Scotty with 5 Seconds to shoot it’ll be Kos he has 12 Russell for three Malone in between two red shirts pulls it down and now he and Rodman all
Tangled up and it’s Malone’s turn to laugh and taunt a bit it’s a great hustle play by Carl Malone you’re going to see him he just wants the basketball two Chicago Bulls and he reaches in there with those powerful arms and just rips it away the foul on Dennis Rodman his second Jordan
Pulls up and connects 25 for MJ this is Scotty out High immediately returns it to Harper little jump Hook is good alone from horac Rodman managed to rest it away from him then Harper takes it Malone argues that he was fouled now Malone got great post position here he’s got to
Finish this play he leaves it short on the rim and then the second effort he thought he got fouled on the wrist there and he did get fouled so he should be upset on that play here’s Jordan off the back iron Rodman trying to keep it alive a tremendous hustling
Attempt but Utah gets the ball alone had it go through his hands and Rodman takes it 4 seconds to shoot Jordan missed it just before the shot clock sounds Rodman battling like crazy but can’t quite hold on to it hornack he and Malone Rodman and Malone and Rodman
Just trips Malone up they got to call a flagrant here they’ve got to call a flagrant it’s the third on Rodman he and Carl Malone regrettably are scheduled to wrestle in one of those bogus events next month why Malone wants to lower himself to that as anyone’s guess and Rodman apparently wants to
Start the wrestling now I tell you what I love what I’m seeing the battle between these two guys they’re fighting giving it everything they got both of them are trying to push and shove and gain position Carl Malone gives them a little knot but at the end of the play
What I like the most is Malone and Robin both gave each other Pat on on the butt and said hey that’s the way we play that’s the way we like to play here’s Pippen the bad back makes horex assignment on him a whole lot easier left alone he doesn’t take the three
Michael fade away see if I’m horn I may pipp and make one of those shots he’s really rushing out to to close out on him Michaels pass to Scotty and finally the tip drops Rodman gets credit for the basket but it looked like Pippen was not able
To show us the usual body control hippen giving it his best and that time it was good enough hor SEC had a good first half and hits this one they’re really making Michael work on a lot of splits hornek is being very active 15 for horac now trying to guard
Pippen Scotty splits the defense can’t hit the bank but Rodman with a second tip here’s barell he’s off Target back comes Utah looking for the lead it’s Chris Morris horac in the right place at the right time you see early offense they got the shot up and they didn’t let
Chicago get back and get set up and so even though they missed it they got a chance for a second shot opportunity Isley hands at the [Applause] C her on Isley around Keith screen now he gets it back and hit just before the buzzer Jordan is the one individual that
I’ve seen in this game since I’ve played that can carry his team in a fourth quarter even when he’s fatigued he’s already played more games and more minutes than at any time in his career isy big poop for Utah tell me confidence isn’t an unbelievable thing this the
Same kid we watched in game five who didn’t even want to dribble the basketball today he’s making some big plays for his team Jordan against Anderson he’s still Michael Jordan [Applause] Rodman drills a 20-footer and gives it that go figure gesture now remember in game two in here
He hit that same shot to tie the game this one brings him within one Malone hands it back to Morris who converts on the [Applause] reverse kach to tie it that was a great screen by Steve CER got to get some movement Morris to a cutting Anderson who was
Bumped the basket May count it [Applause] Does Jordan with the jumper and with 37 points as Utah falls behind now for the first time since Midway through the second quarter Michael again Russell takes it [Applause] down Stockton has a little daylight and Utah has a three-point lead H coach Kerr hipping in the lane connects on the
Turnaround playing through clenched teeth Malone Rodman wins the rebound battle that’s a bad foul on Malone now because that’s the 15 foul 446 left if he hits this he can tie it stock it 5 Seconds to shoot it’s horac Malone they’ll bring it back out the jumper by Carl Utah back in
Front great patience offensive rebound kick it out and horness that got it right back to him three seconds to shoot Harper’s not the guy they want to have do it but he has to and he beats the shot clock and cans a huge shot stopped it on Harper
Out to MJ for three it’s short cornac pegging it ahead to Russell but Michael with whatever gas is left in his tank gets back to pick it off Malone lots of room got it that’s their pet play Malone goes over like he’s going to the post and
Screams for Stockton and and he rolls out and hits the huge jump shot Jordon spinning double team has to get rid of it gets it right back from [Applause] Pippen double pump knocked Away by Carr and a foul he hits them both making it a two-point game stocked in for
Three that would have been a dagger in Chicago’s heart instead they can tie it or take the lead with a three of their own Jordan and a blocking foul Stockton is down on the floor Jordan’s going to come to the line it’s Stockton’s forth Jordan ties it 50 seconds
Malone crosscourt Stockton a three it’s [Applause] there pien into Jordan Michael working on Russell brings them to within one they scored within 4 seconds there that’s how quickly that changes now now it puts some pressure on the Jazz to score once again Jordan with [Applause] [Applause] 43 alone is double they swat at it and steal it here comes Chicago 17 seconds 17 seconds from game seven or from Championship number six Jordan open Chicago with the lead timeout Utah 5.2 seconds left Michael Jordan running on fumes with 45 points this was really the play that hurt Isaiah because
They scored so quickly Michael got in there and scored within 4 seconds and what and what happened was Michael double back you’re going to see he’s in play look where Hornes SEC is setting the screen Michael never clears so Malone doesn’t see him he comes from The
Blind Side and strips him so three crucial plays here by Michael Jordan now as he gets Brian Russell with a quick crossover look at Brian Russell slips and Michael pulls up and buries the shot to give him a one-point lead that may have been who knows what will unfold in
The next several months but that may have been the last shot Michael Jordan will ever take in the NBA watch Jordan’s left hand here as he gives Russell the push referee can’t see that Jordan frees himself up for a clean look the greatest thing about Jordan is he has all the
Tricks that’s why it’s so difficult to guard him if that’s the last image of Michael Jordan how magnificent is it stopped him Harper’s on him behind the screen Harper got a piece of it it comes off the Chicago BS have won their sixth NBA championship and it’s their second [Applause]
Threee Jackson and Jordan perhaps for the last time Michael you have this award before but somehow I have the feeling that this one is more special than all of them well let me say hello to my wife and my kids at home cuz they desperately wanted
To come I didn’t want them to come here today cuz I wanted to focus on the game but I wish they were here to help me celebrate I know they’re there children and I can’t wait to get home but to the Utah fans you guys are tough punch to
Play in front of you guys came out with a lot of loyalty and respect for your team you made it really tough for us uh we really after losing game five in Chicago couple of us dread coming back to Utah cuz we had to deal with the fans
Because of the energy that they bring to the game but we had no choice so we had to come in and play our best and you guys made it a very competitive finals and you know it’s very worthy to win this and I think of all the
Championships that we won this is the toughest it doesn’t get any easier but at the beginning of the season this was the goal that you set out for how wonderful was it to make this into a reality well I tell you when you start the season I’m pretty sure every team
Next year is going to start with the focus of finishing and winning their last game we started with that focus it was a long road a lot of different task and little bumps in the road but somehow we made it and I think everybody who
Looks at this year is going to have some lot of a lot of gratification and understanding and a lot of dedication there were a lot of times during the course of the Season that people doubted the Chicago Bills doubted that you’d be able to come back and pull this off even
During this this final series here people doubted you how did you guys stay so confident well I mean this team is is one our leadership is strong our leadership is is very very positive very determined and it filters down to the rest of the players and we never let
Anybody G give up you know we we believed in it and and we kept coming for it all right I ask everybody if they’re all going to come around to try to do this again one more time I would love for that to happen I think that’s
Something that’s got to have to be determined over the summer

This better not get taken down lol
Big respect this era of bulls made me a fan all the way from England
In this first finals MJ is making Magic-esq passes. This has gotta be the most underrated finals ever, MJ vs Magic both at the peak of their powers and producing some of the most entertaining basketball youโd ever want to see
Imagine if this run took place today… with all the technology and advancements of Social Media.
Did you mention the injuries ? And the water down league ? And expansion teams ? Mind you it wasnโt even 29 other teams it was like 24 or something ๐คฃ. Jordan rings are trash man , he didnโt beat no real competition. All the competition he played the real ones he lost , all 80s lol then when it got even more difficult he didnโt take the wizards to the playoffs
There goes my day ๐ 9hrs wow
Shouts to FreeDawkins for putting this together. If you were alive to whitness this run, you will understand why there hasn't and probably will never will be nothing like what the Bulls did in the 90s. I was 4 when bulls first won in 91, and i can remember watching every game with my Dad on tv. I was 11 when he won his last. I was taking pizza boxes apart and making makeshift signs, rooting for the bulls.
Now this is dedication to your craft. 9hrs of content is no walk in a park. Kudos for this!!! ๐๐๐
People forget how great Paxson played in the 91 finals. He was absolute money everytime he shot the ball. Hes a big reason why they had great success
There's only one team that could beat the bulls in the NBA Finals and that is the Houston Rockets. Rockets might have beaten the bulls in the Finals.
They wouldn't win 8 in a roll if the bulls played the rockets, the rockets were the one team to give them trouble on the court like they did in the regular seasons.
Amazing what 60 fps does to how athletic and quick guys look
Haha Scottie is such a loser. He bricked that layup. What an idiot.
MJ the GOAT.
Queen Lebron will never get the same love and respect no matter how much he pays the media to push his fake GIAT agenda.
I have to be watching stuff like this online to be properly entertained because the product the NBA is presenting today is terrible
do it for bird celtics
When lost Boston he had a chance to leave and go to LA he didn't got beat by Detroit and a chance to leave and go to Boston he didn't but LeBron ran to Miami and team up with other super Star players
27:30 I have seen replays of this move literally hundreds of times over the years. But this is the very first time Iโve seen it from THIS camera angle!! Incredible. GOAT.
This Laker team was really, really good!
Paxson was unconscious in the L.A. series. He just couldn't miss! My goodness!
9 hours? Yeah, I won't be finishing tonight. But I will go to sleep with it so thank you for that.
I was a Sonics fan but I couldn't help but be an MJ fan. He was too good to not root for.
Goat for sure!
Says only 10 days ago but feels longer than that.
Yeah, I can crash to this video, not because it's boring but rather because it's comforting.
I was all in on 90's bball, best era ever to me.
Eat sh** if you don't like that, no way in hell I'd pick today's era with zero defense. An the 80's was too rough.
This is actually blessing right here!!! You in that Goat mode and just want to watch MJ all day this it!!!
Everybody wanna say the Lakers was old (what ever a Laker is) they were not old , the Bulls just was a better team. They said the same thing about the pistons, they were not old. By the way John Paxton should've been Nick Named The the Silent Striker
RIP ๐น Cavin Duckworth And David Robinson ๐น
I'm absolutely loving these games!
As a born and raised lifelong Chicagoan and Chicago Bulls fan who was age 11-18 during this 6 championships runโฆโฆ.all I can say to you for putting together this amazing 9 hour compilation is THANK YOU! ๐๐
That suns series was nerve wrecking that was a good team so was the 97 jazz especially that game 5
Watching this all day today. Thank you.
All in one Video. Nice man. Finely all in one video. Kudos for this vid.
Paxson
So Worthy played in the first 4 games on the 91 finals… I had always thought he missed the whole series
pretty skilled "plumbers" right there. not all of them had fancy handles yes but beautiful team centric playstyle, defense, passing, mid range, transitions, post ups, handchecks.
I'd love to see a video like this of the Bulls vs Knicks playoff series during these 6 seasons๐๐
Scottie pippen is the greatest basketball player for the bulls. He played hard just like jordan.
Peak of Basketball โค.
This is well put together. I love it!
