Six-cess!
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

June 4, 1997
United Center
Chicago Bulls 97, Utah Jazz 85


June 4
After a narrow victory in Game 1 of the Finals, the Bulls cruised in Game 2, as Jordan did it all and Chicago took a 2-0 series lead.

Scottie Pippen failed to convert on a wide-open layup and a deep three-pointer late in the game, either of which would've given Jordan a triple-double (he finished with nine assists).

MJ said
"I don't think Scottie did that on purpose. He apologized before I even said anything...I just hope he can make a layup or two next game."
