Not a greatly played first half and the refs with some horrible calls against the Jazz. Rodman and Russell both take inadvisable shots for each team, but it's Russell's poor lunging defense that hurts most, allowing open shots for the Bulls. The Jazz ahead by 4 at the half, Stockton the main catalyst. Scottie played injured and did everything with 4 blocks, 3 steals, 9 boards and three 3's with 27 points. Hornacek made shots, but it's a tough series matchup at both ends for him. Jordan scores 31 with 8 assists and no turnovers and makes the clutch shot to win it, though still not one of his better games. Russell again with horrible defense on the play. Malone with 23 points and 15 boards, but didn't really come with it, settling too much.
3. (Chi) S.Pippen, 2. (Chi) M.Jordan, 1. (Uta) J.Stockton.
