Bulls @ Pacers, 1998 Playoffs G3: Reggie saves the day HIGH QUALITY VERSION: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJrTGf0Wcgg&fmt=18 A limping Reggie Miller scored 13 of his 28 points in the final 4 1/2 minutes and the Indiana Pacers survived a furious late rally by the Chicago Bulls and climbed back into the Eastern Conference finals with a 107-105 victory in Game Three. "I stepped on Mike's foot in the middle of the third quarter," Miller said. Clearly hobbled, Miller nevertheless made three three-pointers, a 20-footer that beat the shot clock and the clinching free throws in the final 4:11. He was the only Pacer to score from the field in the last 6 1/2 minutes. "It loosened up as the game went on," Miller said. "I knew I couldn't drive, so I basically just played off their mistakes." Miller made 9-of-15 shots, including 4-of-7 from behind the arc. Indiana's bench held a 43-25 scoring advantage, including 20-6 over the final 13-plus minutes. "He said he could go," Pacers coach Larry Bird said. "He put everything on the line and stepped up and hit the big shots." Michael Jordan scored 30 points and Scottie Pippen added 23 for the Bulls, who suffered their first road loss of the postseason and had a five-game winning streak snapped. Chicago trimmed an eight-point deficit to 103-102 in just over a minute, but Rose and Davis each made a pair of clutch free throws before Miller sealed it. "He was hurt and I don't know why we didn't go at him," Bulls guard Ron Harper said. "We had a chance in this game and we know we let a golden opportunity slip away."

Pacers @ Bulls, 1998 Playoffs G7: "Last Dance" continues HIGH QUALITY VERSION: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CnKINLUaFj4&fmt=18 The Chicago Bulls, given chance after chance by the Indiana Pacers, will have a chance at their third straight NBA title. The two-time defending champions, playing their first Game Seven in four years, overcame surprisingly poor shooting by Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen with timely offensive rebounding in an 88-83 victory that vaulted the Bulls into the NBA Finals against the Utah Jazz. "We definitely got the effort from our players, but the difference in the game was that we got beat to loose balls and on the boards," Pacers coach Larry Bird said. "We've talked about offenssive boards all year. Tonight we were just overmatched. The number of offensive rebounds they got ripped our hearts out." Even with league rebound leader Dennis Rodman limited to six boards, the Bulls held a 50-34 edge on the glass. Pippen pulled down 12 and Jordan and Luc Longley grabbed nine apiece. Pippen and Jordan combined for 11 offensive rebounds. "Rebounding is a huge part of our offense," Phil Jackson said. "One of the reasons we do well in that area is we have a lot of people around the boards. We have a sense of just being there when the shots are going up." The Bulls had more to lose and it showed in the early going. Everyone appeared tentative, including Jordan, who was playing in his first Game Seven in six years. Chicago quickly fell behind as Indiana calmly executed its offense. Jordan's follow shot 91 seconds into the game gave Chicago a 5-4 lead, but Indiana scored the next 10 points. Smits and Dale Davis had four apiece and a turnaround jumper by Davis extended the lead to 14-5 with 7:45 remaining. Even after a timeout, the Bulls continued to struggle and the Pacers, who made their first eight shots, widened the advantage to 20-7 on a free throw by Jackson with 5:41 left, silencing the sellout crowd at the United Center. Rose's free throw opened the second quarter before the Bulls finally snapped out of it and got back in the game with their defense, rebounding and bench. Kukoc scored and Jordan had a pair of baskets around a three-pointer by Kerr to forge a 28-28 tie. "We were able to win this game with defense and that's been a keynote for us throughout our championship runs," Jordan said. "I give our bench a lot of credit. Kerr gave us some huge minutes." The Bulls widened a three-point halftime lead to 69-61 behind Kukoc, who was 5-of-5 in the third quarter, including a trio of three-pointers. But Chicago went scoreless over the final 2:17 of the period, as Dale Davis made free throws around a layup by Game Six hero Travis Best to cut the deficit to 69-65. "Kukoc is the guy tonight who really stepped up big for us," Jackson said. "Without his contribution and Steve Kerr's open looks off the bench, we don't stay in this game." Jordan ended Chicago's 10-shot dry spell of 6:44 with a follow shot with 7:53 remaining. Smits made a free throw before Jordan drove for a dunk and drew a foul with 7:28 to go. His free throw gave the Bulls the lead, but Smits converted a three-point play and Antonio Davis made a foul shot before the game's telling sequence. McKey stripped Jordan on a drive and a jump ball between the 7-4 Smits and 6-5 Jordan was called. Smits tipped the ball straight to Pippen, who found Kerr for a three-pointer that tied it at 77-77 with 6:07 left. Antonio Davis made a banker, but Jordan tied it with two foul shots and Pippen made a jumper after his offensive rebound to give the Bulls the lead for good at 81-79 with 4:45 remaining. A jumper by Longley - his only basket of the game - moved the margin to four points with 3:25 left. Indiana's Reggie Miller scored 22 points, but none over the last 15:30. He attempted just one shot in the fourth quarter -- an airball that Antonio Davis converted into the Pacers' only hoop off an offensive rebound with 2:05 left, cutting the deficit to 85-83. After Miller's miss, Pippen beat him down the floor and threw in a running hook as Davis fouled out. Pippen missed the free throws, but Jordan rebounded, killing valuable time. Indiana's Derrick McKey forced a three-pointer and Harper was fouled with 8.9 seconds left, making a free throw to seal the seventh win of the series by the home team. "This series and this game was a test of our will to determine if we're still championship caliber," Bulls coach Phil Jackson said. "We were able to answer that in a positive way tonight." The Bulls held the Pacers scoreless over the final 2:05 and reached the Finals for the sixth time in eight years. They have never lost in the championship round and begin a rematch with the Jazz on Wednesday night in Salt Lake City. "Not having home court is going to definitely be to Utah's advantage," Jordan said. "But nobody has taken anything away from us yet. We're still the champions and that's how we're going to think when we go into this series."

Pacers @ Bulls, 1998 Playoffs G2: Jordan with 41 points HIGH QUALITY VERSION: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gRtcFbKK_us&fmt=18 Michael Jordan had just received his 5th Regular Season MVP Award and he made sure to prove that he deserved it, scoring 41 points on 13-of-22 shooting and 15-of-18 from the line. He scored 24 points in the second half, including a flurry of eight at the end of the third quarter and three straight Chicago baskets in the last 2 1/2 minutes to fight off a final rally by Indiana. It was his 35th career 40-point playoff game. "At a certain point, I felt I had to take over," Jordan said. "We just weren't getting anything done offensively. I had a lot of extra energy tonight and luckily I was able to get the job done." "Michael had a lot of great, tough shots tonight," Pacers coach Larry Bird said. "I'll change that -- that's tough shots for other people and routine for him. There's no question that he's the reason they won it. That's the reason why he's the MVP." "As soon as they gave him the MVP award, I knew he was going to have a huge game for us tonight," Pippen said. "Michael loves challenges and when they tell him he's the best, by giving him the award, that's still a big challenge for him. I don't know if anybody can stop him when he's on his game." "To tell you the truth, all we can keep doiing is keep plugging away," Miller said. "We had a great opportunity to take this game tonight. But Jordan wouldn't be denied. He did what a great player always does, he stepped up and took over." In addition to Jordan's second-half explosion, the Bulls also used several other ingredients from their Game One victory - more stifling defense from Scottie Pippen on Pacers point guard Mark Jackson and converting 20 Indiana turnovers into 26 points. Jackson had seven turnovers for the second straight game. "He's does a great job on me, no question about it," Jackson said. "It shouldn't affect our total game, yet it has. These series are about adjustments and we have to make them now." "We've been there before and mental toughness is what wins this time of year," Jordan said. "We've been through it against Miami and New York in the past. Indiana's going through their first (conference) finals experience. There is a difference." "The difference again tonight was that they stepped up their intensity on defense," Mark Jackson said. "We still remain confident. We've been in both games and had opportunities to win both of them. We're a veteran team. We're going back home, hopefully to take care of business there."

Bulls @ Pacers, 1998 Playoffs G4: Killer Miller HIGH QUALITY VERSION: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=htSWwyrxUIA&fmt=18 Reggie Miller's three-pointer with seven-tenths of a second to go capped a fourth-quarter long-distance shooting barrage and gave the Indiana Pacers a 96-94 victory over the Chicago Bulls, evening the Eastern Conference finals at two games each. "We wanted to get Jordan out of the play and he switched," said Miller. "Pippen wasn't playing me aggressively and Derrick made the pass. All I had to do was get my feet square." Miller added to his growing playoff legend after Scottie Pippen missed a pair of free throws for Chicago and the ball went out of bounds with 2.9 seconds to go. Miller lost Ron Harper as he curled around a series of picks and bumped aside Michael Jordan at the top of the circle before taking the inbound pass from McKey and burying the game-winner from the right wing. "We designed the play for Reggie," Pacers coach Larry Bird said. "I didn't think he was going to as wide open as he was. He was wide open. I knew he was going to make it." The Bulls had one last chance, but Jordan, who scored 28 points, saw his double-pump 25-foot banker rattle in and out as the horn sounded, completing an erratic final three minutes for the two-time defending NBA champions. "Michael got a look and a shot that scared me," Pacers forward Antonio Davis said. "He double- and triple-clutched and I said there's no way - not even for him." "Every time I shoot the ball I think it's going in," said Jordan, who was 12-of-27 from the field. "But it's out of my hands once it leaves my hands. I was surprised I got it off. But a lot of things surprised me today." Chicago had some tough breaks with the calls down the stretch. In addition to the call against Rodman, who was whistled for an offensive foul with 21 seconds to play, Best appeared to have a toe on the line on his three-pointer, and a loose ball ruled off Pippen with 2:16 to go appeared to go off one of the Pacers. "This is an unbelievable finish," Bulls coach Phil Jackson said. "The Pacers should not have been in the position to do that. This was Munich in '72 revisited. I doubt I can watch the last 10 minutes (again) without calling (NBA vice president of basketball operations) Rod Thorn. The offensive foul on Rodman was unbelievable." "That was a tough call, but we can't whine about it," Chicago guard Steve Kerr said. "But maybe we should. It worked for the Pacers." Kukoc scored 18 points, Harper added 13 and Pippen 12 for the Bulls, who shot 56 percent (39-of-70), but just 4-of-9 from behind the arc. Rodman pulled down 16 rebounds, helping Chicago to a 40-32 advantage on the boards. Pippen had 10 assists and seven rebounds, but made just 2-of-7 free throws. "I'm part of the team and we all have to step forward," Jordan said. "I'm not going to point fingers. But we all have to move on. Things happened here today but you have to roll with the punches."

Bulls vs. Pacers - Jordan 44pts, Pippen 40pts, Rodman 23rbds The commentary wasn't in English and also the audio was really bad. I had to cut it out. Sorry about that. February 18, 1996 One day after Jordan's 33rd birthday. Bulls were on a mission to be the first team to win 70+ games. They were visiting Indiana for the last of their three consecutive road games. Back in December 26th, Pacers had managed to beat them 103-97 in this arena and had snapped Bulls' 13-game winning streak. If the Bulls had not lost that day, they could have had a 32-game streak since they started a team-record 18-game string after that defeat. With that game and a possible playoff matchup in mind, Jordan and company were determined to make a statement this time, and they did in amazing fashion. Bulls won 110-102 and only the ninth time in NBA history, two teammates scored at least 40 points in a game. The statlines were extraordinary. Jordan: 44pts (16-29), 5rb, 7asts, 3stls, 2blks Pippen: 40pts, (14-26), 10rbds, 2asts, 5 stls. Rodman: 23rbds (7 offensive) Here are some postgame notes and quotes ========================== INDIANAPOLIS For the first time in the Bulls' 30-year history and the ninth time in the NBA's 50-year history, two teammates scored at least 40 points apiece in a game on Sunday. "They are making a statement every game. They wouldn't be 46-5 if they didn't try to do it every game," Pacers coach Larry Brown said. "That's what makes them different: They're so hungry to win every game. We're not like that." A few minutes into the game, the Pacers took a 12-2 lead. "They came out of the blocks quick, as we expected they would," Jordan said. "But we knew it was a long game," Jordan said. "We kept our poise, and defensively we took them out of the things they wanted to do." Down the stretch, Jordan and Pippen were completely dominating. Together, they scored 26 of the Bulls' 30 points in the third period and all of the Bulls' 27 points in the fourth. In fact, the last non-Jordan-Pippen basket scored by the Bulls was Toni Kukoc's 11-foot jumper that raised the Bulls' lead to 73-68 with 2:57 left in the third. After that, Jordan and Pippen scored the Bulls' last 37 points. "We were just in a zone," Pippen said. "Michael is the greatest scorer and Dennis is the greatest rebounder. We showed some dominance and just stepped up our games." "That was the greatest tag-team match I've ever seen in pro basketball," Harper said. "The game was so good, I think the first thing I'll do when I get home is turn it on again and watch the video replay." The last two teammates to score at least 40 points apiece in one game were Adrian Dantley and John Drew of the Utah Jazz vs. the Detroit Pistons on March 19, 1984. "We had to send a message, and come in here ready to play, because they're trying to send a message," said Jordan of the possibility the two teams might meet in the playoffs. "All three of us earned our checks . . . I've never seen three guys play together who excel at three different types of things."
