Michael Jordan vs Mutombo 1997 - Bulls vs Hawks - Game 5

Jordan finally got his dunk on Dikembe Mutombo.

Everyone knows the play - MJ into Luc, cut baseline, catch and dunk - then wave the finger.

It's certainly the highlight of game five. The Bulls were stellar all game, as the finish off the Hawks 107-92.

MJ hit 9 of 23 shots to finish with 24 points. Pippen added 15 and Rodman scored 12 with some rare outside shooting. Steve Kerr also had a nice game with 15 points.

The Bulls win the series four games to one and move on to face the Miami Heat in the Eastern Conference Finals.

Getting a technical for a finger wag is crap - if you can't take trash-talk and taunting from an opposing player, and not have it affect your game, you don't belong in the NBA.

In an effort to "clean up the game", all the grit and physical play has been sucked out of it. The refs should back away and let the players play the game like real men.

Mutombo was probably super angry this game. Got dunked on TWICE and lost a series.
