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 7, 1991
Great Western Forum
Chicago Bulls 104, Los Angeles Lakers 96 (OT)


June 7
Jordan had a poor shooting night but made up for it in other ways as the Bulls won in L.A. to take a 2-1 lead in the Finals.

After Chicago fought back from 13 down in the third, Jordan sent the game into overtime by hitting a 14-footer with 3.4 seconds left. He slightly sprained his right big toe as he battled for an open look. "He made the shot with the defender [Byron Scott] all over him," said Lakers coach Mike Dunleavy. "You can't ask for more than that."

The Bulls dominated on the glass, finishing with a 46-29 margin (the 29 is a record low for the Finals).

MJ said
"We wanted to come in and get one win to take it back to Chicago. But now we've got a good opportunity to win a couple more games."
