The first quarter was a high scoring one with the Bulls gaining the upper hand 36-34. The Bulls opened the second scoring the first 9 pts, while holding the Cavs scoreless and they go up by double digits. CLeveland regrouped and cut the deficit into 5, and it's 64-59 at the half.

Kyrie Irving was the main offensive man for the Cavs, scoring 19 in the hald. Jordan was his usual self with 20 first half points.

In the thrid quarter, the Bulls seemed to be able to keep a certain distance from the Cavs with solid offensive execution and defense on the other end. While Kyrie continued to produce, LeBron was pretty quiet and a nonfactor thru the 3rd quarter. Bulls go up by 10 heading into the 4th, 95-85.

In the 4th quarter, the Bulls remained ahead and was leading by 12 pts with over 3 mins to go, but LeBron James was not about to quit yet. He got hot late and led the Cavaliers all the way back just trailing by 4 in the last 1:00 of the game. After the lead went back up to 7 after a 3-pointer from Kerr off a Jordan double team, LeBron would counter with a 3 of his own to again cut it the lead to 4 with less than 40 secs to go. Jordan would score in the post against JR SMith on the next play to bring lead back up to 6. Kyrie would miss the 3 on the next play, but Love would grab the rebound and score on a put back PLUS a foul! Lead is 3 with 24 secs left. Chicago would make their FT's however to seal the W, 130-125.

Jordan would finish with 44 pts while Pippen would add 27. Kerr and Kukoc came up bug off the bench for the Bulls, combining for 28 (kerr 17, Kukoc 11) and 11 assts (10 from Kukoc).

Kyrie ended up with 37 pts 8 assts. Lebron would finish with 23

CHICAGO STADIUM --Which Chicago team was better? the '93 Champs or the '96 Champs? One way to find out was to play them against each other. Jordan93 vs Jordan96. Who do you have?

Jordan96 got off to a hot start hitting his first 8 shots and the 96Bulls led by as much as 10 in the first period. 96bulls take a 28-21 advantage after one.

Pippen continued the Bulls momentum inot the second quarter where they led by as much as 12 it was 64-53 going into the half.

The 96Bulls went on a 15-9 run to start the period and their lead would balloon to 17. Jordan93 would explode in the 3rd however, scoring 23pts in the period alone, to keep 93Bulls within striking distance. It's 89-80 headed to the final quarter.

The 93Bulls rally continued in the 4th quarter as the home team managed to cut the lead to 4 midway. Jordan93 again led the way with 14pts in the period. With Jordan96 facing double teams, Steve Kerr would step up hit his open shots. He hit 2 key 3-pointers in the game to keep 96Bulls up. Jordan would not quit and lead the 93Bulls back to within 4 with less than a minute to go, but they would run out of time and Kerr would hit key FTs and the 96Bulls would hang on to win, 118-110.

Jordan96 finished with 45 pts, while Pippen96 had 25. Kerr was the X-factor, as he scored 22 off the bench, including 15 in the crucial 4thQ, hitting 4 3pters and 6/6fts.

LeBron from any era is overrated. This series proves it.
