00:00Stockton glancing at the clock as he comes across.
00:05Four and a half minutes for Utah to end the season or prolong it.
00:11Stockton, five seconds to shoot.
00:14It's Hornacek.
00:17Malone, they'll bring it back out.
00:21The jumper by Carl.
00:23Utah back in front, great pace.
00:42Three seconds to shoot.
00:44Harper's not the guy they want to have to do it, but he has to.
00:47And he beats the shot clock.
00:49I would go at him right now.
00:51He's trying to guard Antoine Carr.
00:53And Antoine Carr has a big advantage over him inside.
01:04Russell.
01:07Riding against Rodman.
01:09Contact and a foul.
01:22Stockton on Harper.
01:24Now to MJ for three.
01:25It's short.
01:28Hornacek picking it ahead to Russell.
01:30But Michael, with whatever gas is left in his tank, gets back to pick it off.
01:40Rodman.
01:42Offensive foul on Dennis.
01:45And that's five.
01:46He is three of 14 in his last two fourth quarters.
01:55Even Superman apparently gets tired.
01:58Malone.
01:59Lots of room.
02:00Got it.
02:02That's their pit play.
02:04Huge jump shot.
02:12Jordan spinning.
02:14Double team.
02:15Has to get rid of him.
02:17Gets it right back from Pippen.
02:21Double pump.
02:22Knocked away by Carr.
02:24And a foul.
02:26He hits them both.
02:29Making it a two point game.
02:32With exactly two minutes to play.
02:41Stockton.
02:44Russell with a huge rebound.
02:47Tried to throw it off Rodman's leg as he was walking a tightrope and couldn't do it.
02:51Chicago back looking to tie.
03:00Michael.
03:01Short.
03:02Rebound.
03:03Stockton.
03:04The jumpers come up short when fatigue is a factor.
03:08It's true of anyone.
03:09Even the best of them.
03:18Rodman got in front and knocked it loose.
03:20But Chicago touched it last.
03:23Watch Hornacek on this play.
03:25Wrapping off a triple screen.
03:27Stockton for three.
03:30That would have been a dagger in Chicago's heart.
03:36Instead they could tie it.
03:37Or take the lead with a three of their own.
03:40Jordan.
03:43And a blocking foul.
03:45Stockton is down on the floor.
03:55He cuts it to one.
03:57Phil Jackson has told the Bulls during the last couple of the two of the basket.
04:01Not look for the perimeter shot.
04:08Jordan ties it.
04:10Maybe the 20 second timeout was as much as anything just to give him a breather to gather himself for
04:15the crucial free throws.
04:1950 seconds.
04:22Malone.
04:25Cross court Stockton.
04:27Cross court Stockton.
04:27A three.
04:27It's there.
04:31To give them two opportunities to one.
04:45They scored within four seconds there.
04:47That's how quickly that changes now.
04:49Now it puts the pressure on the Jazz to score once again.
04:52Jordan with 43.
04:58Malone is double.
04:59They swat at it and steal it.
05:02Here comes Chicago.
05:0317 seconds.
05:0617 seconds.
05:07From game seven.
05:09Or from championship number six.
05:12Jordan.
05:13Open.
05:15Chicago with the lead.
05:20Timeout Utah.
05:225.2 seconds left.
05:25Michael Jordan.
05:26running on fumes with 45 points.
05:31At the end of the game, you gotta get it out of his hands.
05:38He's beat you so many times.
05:41You've watched Jordan play, Doug, and you know that at the end of the game, he's a killer.
05:46This was really the play that hurt Isaiah because they scored so quickly.
05:50Michael got in there and scored within four seconds.
05:53And what happened was Michael doubled back.
05:56You're going to see he's in the play.
05:57Look where Hornacek is setting the screen.
05:59Michael never clears.
06:00So Malone doesn't see him.
06:02He comes from the blind side and strips him.
06:05So three crucial plays here by Michael Jordan now.
06:08As he gets Brian Russell with a quick crossover.
06:12Look at Brian Russell.
06:13Slips.
06:13And Michael pulls up and buries the shot to give him a one-point lead.
06:19If they don't, for the second straight year, they go out on six.
06:24Stockton.
06:25Harper's on it.
06:26Behind the screen.
06:27Harper got a piece of it.
06:28It comes off.
06:29The Chicago Bulls have won their sixth NBA championship, and it's their second three-peat.
