More than 17,000 have gathered here at the orena in downtown Orlando first meeting of the 1995 96 season between the Chicago Bulls and the Orlando M for Chicago Pippen Simkins Longley Jordan and Harper and for the magic Scott Grant conak Penny Hardaway and Nick Anderson long lead kicks it back out to Harper
Here’s Jordan two long Pippen brings it down scoring average in the last two seasons or season and two weeks really as gone Way Off the Mark here’s Hardaway hosting up off the glass too strong you have had a much closer Vantage Point than I have here’s Hardaway there’s two Penny
Hardaway six points above his average of a year ago he’s averaging 27.2 he is number three in the league early on oh what a pass a long Le from Jordan shooter they had to run at him to protect from taking that three and he was able to penetrate at the other end
Jordan you know for three Michael shooting back on the court here’s Hardaway with a jumper yep for three the decision Chicago has chosen to take is to make Kenny shoot it outside he has not shot the ball well from the outside yet Jordan backto back three-pointers now Michael Anderson saves it here’s
Hardaway longly defending takes it up and over and in Oh What a Beautiful move by Penny Hardway that’s that’s the aggression that he’s talking about what a great drive he needs to continue doing that if they’re going to go to the next level oh that’s Aible he’s doing it all right now four out of five from the field for Hardaway good post up player against smaller people good quickness good passer very versatile player Steel by Jordan on the throwaway by Anderson Michael up and in pick and roll Hard Away knives through and no foul call
Jordan again they clear out he takes the jumper can oh you’re not going to give him the outside shot right now Penny’s been able to do both but now jaw guards Jordan yeah Michael you know they’re both playing good better than the Shaq and alij on one1 I’d pay to watch Penny and
Michael any day that ball air ball and he’s got his respect Michael’s working hard and hting his still at 12 points already turns to he right this time and hits it what a shot unconscious that’s why he was NBA player of the week 2 minutes l two minutes remaining in the Jordan Shaw
Guards him now little too strong at the end of the quarter in a trap of its own trying to disrupt Chicago’s offense a little bit here’s Steve C trying to guard Penny it’s a big mismatch yeah that’s not even fair well you know he’s done it to Michael and
He’s done it to Scotty too so no reason for Steve cl to be upset orando to get them back in the game they play by two kach guarded by Royal Nifty move nice move by kach Brian Shaw Don Royal Nick Anderson’s back in along with Scott and conat perimeter be ready to Help Jordan got [Applause] it Jordan guarded by Shaw takes the three ball is chased down by Shaw he saves it out Pippen Michael Jordan Jud buler on and [Applause] Cach Michael Jordan guarded by Anderson fou hipping on Hardway there’s the pick by Horus Grant and the shot won’t fall that was for three Jordan is that vage I know it didn’t go but after he went out with a rest hasn’t been able to get it reignited here Scott
Runs into longle and then Jordan is there with quick hands to steal it back out to Scott buler defending five on the shot clock three-pointer no cona back to Fen back to [Applause] Jordan hey we ended the half the way we started it oh great defensive play by
Hardaway it really was to CU Jordan was coming on the cut now here’s penny at the other end and he will go to the free throw line they really haven’t had any good shots yet that’s the reason Hard Away fade away yes well he’s taking advantage of Michael right now he knows
Michael’s got three fouls on him and he can’t be over the aggressive so good heads up play by Penny Hardway taking it to Michael that time 96 98 and 2000 so they got a pick up a millennium here’s [Applause] Jordan Hard Away strip hippen hard away well fade away this time on the front rim 53 all still it’s uh degenerated somewhat Jordan nope Anderson strong rebound Orlando up by Two they got Nick Anderson Michael Jordan who’s this going to go against oh goes against Jordan look at the field goal percentage in this quarter two of 13 for Chicago two of nine for Orlando well no the double team from Hardway hippen and it’s taken away by
Hardaway off the feed and will shoot free throws Randy Brown and that’s hurting Chicago’s offense right now it was a three-point Chicago lead at the half it’s a three-point Orlando lead and make it five oh unconscious what a great shot by Penny hard he’s been doing that
All game I think he’s starting to turn it back up again realizing this the the fourth quarter is near sets the pick for Hardaway four on the shot clock Penny [Applause] shoots what a performance by Penny Hardway well I think Scotty actually hit Penny he’s asking for a foul on that
Play as well oh for the magic it’s a self motivational book and the success he’s had in his career um I think I’m going to read that book and Penny Hardway back is as well now let’s set the lineups here’s Dennis Scott guarded by bushler and Scott takes it over Jud
That’s a good shot great play at the right time and at the other end he cans the jumper so four quick points for Michael Jordan that’s only five in this half However Jordan Hardaway gets a pick from Grant takes the jumper got it in the each possession right now and that’s the maturity of a great young player Jordan travel Pippen is running hard away the basket goes and Michael Jordan got loose and Hardway gets it [Applause] back battle for it Jordan has
It Off the Mark PPP and rebound Jordan lost goes to his left skip pass Pusher spots up for three nailed it that is huge coach [Applause] gsen over to Scott they quickly get it in the hands of [Applause] Hardway you know the thing that they haven’t done well this year so far is
Shoot the threes hit from the perimeter but the reason that they’re 5 and one is because they’ve been able to hit those shots down the stretch when they’ Beed him so the the shooting percentage is a little bit deceiving Brian Shaw did it last game against Miami Penny Hardway does it this
Game kns down a big at a at the right time Jordan Ed by Shaw Off the Mark rebound Anderson Jordan has it takes the three kach grabs the rebound puts it up no boyler no Jordan underneath kach got two there’s a look at Penny Hardaway I
Know that he’s saying Shaq I need you to come back I’m going to get tired Goo stolen by Hardaway 9488 is the final well the team is actually doing well you know we’re playing great defense and uh we’re not giving over 100 points in uh any of the games that we won so far this year so you know as a team effort we’re doing great
