The Ref messed up the game on both ends...but considering Pip playing in EXTREME pain and Jordan doing what he does, the Bulls deserve it!

This Day in Michael Jordan Playoff History

Chicago Bulls 97, Portland Trail Blazers 93

Jordan and the Bulls successfully defended their title, taking Games 5 and 6 after alternating victories the first four games. Jordan again was voted Finals MVP, but unlike in 1991 there was no display of emotion; there was just exhaustion and relief.

MJ said
"Two says it wasn't a fluke the first time. To come back and do it back-to-back, it's saying we didn't just walk into this situation. We did it with a lot of style, a lot of class and a lot of hard work."
