There was a little storyline to this game if I remember right MJ had a great half then someone informed him that his Mother was in the hospital and just lookin at the difference in his play between the first and second half u can see his mind wasn't totally in it....

Marbaby ruined everything! The Wolves might not have built a dynasty around KG and marbaby, but I went to this game, and they really had something in the works. Then Marbaby wanted to be the #1 guy and his jealousy of KG led him to ask to be traded, and his carrer was shit after that. Good choice Steph...What a little bitch! I miss KG :(

@Mailme81 MJ was a great solo act he filled a stat sheet but didn't win playoff series. Plus this was a good Twolves team.

And people say Jordan is everything.. without Pippen they didnt beat the Wolves!!

@jeanrollan Pippen was injured the first half of the season I think from a bad back. That's one reason why the Bulls struggled a bit earlier that season.

[jeanrollan]

Where was Pippen?

@jaboo82681 Right, i remember that. Someone had made a malicious call about his family. He left and then came back but the Bulls were never the same. Good point.
