1988-89 NBA Playoffs – NBA Championship
Chicago Bulls vs Utah Jazz
Utah Leads 3-2
Win or wonder what could have been. Simple as that.
The Bulls did just that. Win.
Jack had an absurd 35-14-19, on 16-21 shooting, adding three steals and two blocks, and did not commit a turnover, as the Bulls outlasted Utah, 117-116, to force a Game 7.
Josh posted 28-10-3, while Gayle Cruz added 18-3-3 and Escalera 15-6-7.
The Evil Harris Connors led Utah with 41-15-5, while Sammie Snodgrass added 21-11-8. Royal Bryant put up 15 points, 16 boards, and six blocks. Craig Cooper, had a nightmare of a game, shooting 3-25 from the field. That’s not a misprint. He added 8 assists and 4 rebounds to his 14 points, but also had four turnovers.
And, so, we go to Game Seven. Again.
Win, and celebrate legacy. Lose…and maybe wonder what your legacy could have been.
