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 about taking care of business in the post Gary pton trying to front him George Carl working
With the team on trying to front the post up players but Jordan turns to his left shoulder and Matt with that Li in the locker room beforehand it was disappointing to see the somber almost defeated attitude thr K from Gary Payton ready ties an NBA record held by the Detroit
Pistons who get it back in 89 and 90 pitton did penetrate could not convert k k missing the two opportunities and Mike Harper had to come down to double team and let let P open once again the call against Chicago offensive foul Jordan trying to post up here the
Great ones Jabar bird male magic they all used that Nails one and then it off the ball foul it’s been going that way for the Sonic rowski hit one earlier in the series Jordan that attention to himself early make himself a factor there is Kemp nice
Move by SE Kemp and the sonics have taken the lead for the first time since the end of the second quarter in game two Jordan shot block by C off Bill I’ve been I’ve been waiting for this Shan Kamp not able to hit all right and here is Gary pton from
Downtown a lot of altercations with players he cannot afford to be thrown out of this game his life 112 run chest area everything down in the Torso totally legal oh the steal by Browski Zone he only Tu in the well the blls going to the double team
The other day as fkins is able to hit on the stting mount down three in a similar situation Chicago closed them out at the very end Jordan went to the left hand as he was met on the switch by Bowski and a foul is called status for tonight’s game
His flagrant fouls on Sunday as you see the foul committed by Frank rowski [Applause] that’s quite a job of Mod’s guy he gets to go and ask Michael Jordan during the game how’s it going are playing well and winning only one turnover opening minute second quarter nice pass from mcmiller games I don’t
Understand why Deb left strength couldn’t have played this role handling the ball up at the top not necessarily off the dribble but he’s a tall man at six the go terrific assist to turnover ratio for the sonics short by the Sonics in the midst of another run P you for three
Yes Pull It in shot clock is down to five he is four of eight less double teaming more Defenders staying with their own man here is Jordan and Michael Jordan with his third as all players do at a 3 0 it’s over SHP that left trp who’s been very active
In this first half seven points 16 point Seattle a here’s the lead for Jordan and a foul fou on Jordon Paul player these are SC pipping and Shan Kemp let him play It’s the NBA Finals please Kemp sitting down now Browski has come on and a foul on Browski that is his [Applause]
Third well there pakowski and Robin in the same situation the last one was called a double foul this time rowski gets nailed Jordan not able to hit lley Luke [Applause] Lley Perkins yes Sam Perkins shrimp working on K Jordan over to Hell shrimp it is all shot clock at six shre against and double team Perkins down for 10 point7 for Jordan two of PB Hopper Rodman and PPP and Hopper bothered by the bad knee you recall did
Not start in game three has not come out here as the starter for the second shots three of 11 for the game guarded by ha is now shrimp over to hel kach for three yes Tony C cotio it’s about time they got back to playing their brand of basketball 70 run by the
Bulls [Applause] campfires as many as 23 lley Rodman with the tip and the Sonic now lead 5741 P Rodman tips the ball in Browski right there ah that that is a technical foul uncalled for by a skilled and good player Frank rowski well you saw the Fret gone by in the third
Quarter ke facing the double Payton eluding Jordan Bill Jackson a moment ago during that timeout upset with Longley here’s C yes and the foul a foul called on Longley coming and moves off the penetration no double clutch there just a good strong power windmill dunk if if you can’t stop
Penetration there’s no way your defense can react at the hoop when Shan Kemp is with C for three and back comes pton protecting the dribble on Pippen now play by Brown Brown a very strong defensive player Payton goes right out of it and a nice set up for
K Pippen getting inside strength but that met by the double team as Perkins came over now they isolate Pippen on sh and Scottie Pippen with a nice move going last third quarter they’re just trying to post up Payton here against the shter Randy Brown every time back comes piffen has a three on
Two Jordan on the drive yes and it counts and at the offensive end he leads the way with 20 points Sonic 69 the Bulls 49 back door feied nice pass from R ball goes into the post and you’re in that corner area you make that hard cut to the basket
Beautifully executed pass by Dennis Rodman the bounce pass cost to the back injury his his playing time has been limited Sonic’s lead by 16 Brown open and Pippen was able to find them they’ll be happy with that and Bill Seattle has led by as many as as 23
So the Bulls in the midst of their second R Kim with the r first and lands on Rodman and is in enjoy it you can be certain of that terrific move here by Kemp the hard Spin and then over the head as Dennis Robin just helpless as
The quickness power and strength of Kemp too much that was a by Bill Oaks it’s against Seattle Gary pton very [Applause] upset one minute remaining in the third Windgate fouled by Jordan hard foul it is a flavr and as we have been discussing throughout the series Michael Jordan have been on David Windgate
Against him now this may have well been a payback he looked like he was going for the ball there just got his arms and it was wind Gate’s momentum that took him out the L that’s the kind of play that Jordan will often come up with a block
Out of 50 seconds to go third quarter Perkins left and Robin was helpless Jordan to the fadea Away rebounded by Rodman K coach for three and a gry Seattle ball Chicago just 41 for we’re down to 10 seconds 1 second differential with the shot clock Perkins
Wide open set up by P longle Rodman and Pippen C with the fake round long Le that looked too easy nice defense there’s a good call by the official but he is just too quick for Luke Longley in that position Luke Longley unable to B point lead Joe Crawford indicating the pushing
Foul the Bull’s worst loss of the season regular season and playoffs once again Kamp gets inside Jeff Van gundy’s second game is head coach of the Knicks and the Knicks beat the balls [Applause] 10472 it counts and the foul so Jordan hains called for the foul here well a
Number of times when the ball has gone inside to Michael Jordan good things happen that Mark of 12 up and one down by the Philadelphia 76ers in 1983 the best run through the playoffs Jordan and it’s tipped home by Rodman in the fourth quarter Rodman two-handed layup attempt by by
Robman and uh Kemp and Rodman come together and a foul call you see the close out defense by Seattle that time that’s the mark of their oh boy wow and that has been the mark over the last 5 years they love to play Above the Rim and Gary Payton delivers and Shan Kemp
