1988-89 NBA Playoffs – NBA Championship
Chicago Bulls vs Utah Jazz
Game 5 (Series Tied 2-2)
Suddenly, the Jazz have taken control of this series.
Sammie Snodgrass scored 27 points and dished eight assists, and Brian Mazza added 22, as the Jazz crushed the Bulls, 107-82. A 37-15 first quarter set the tone, and deflated the Bulls early.
The Evil Harris Connors added 16-10-7, while Royal Bryant had 15 points, 8 boards, and 7 blocks.
The Bulls were led by Jack’s 20-13-5, while Josh added 16-3-3. Josh Whitman put up 11-6-8. After that, production was scattershot.
Now, the Bulls are left with the proposition left the last two times they left Salt Lake City: Win both, or the season is over.
The Jazz have dropped the last two Game 6s in Chicago, but have won both Game 7s. They’ll head to Chicago knowing they only need to win one or the other.
