Bulls vs Jazz 1997 - Game 2 - Michael Jordan 38 points

In yet another magnificent performance in the NBA Finals, Michael Jordan fell just one assist shy of his first triple-double in a Finals game.

MJ scored 38 points, grabbed 13 rebounds and dropped nine dimes to lead the Bulls to a 97-85 win over the Utah Jazz in game two of the 1997 NBA Finals.

Jordan's triple-double seemed like a sure thing after a pass late in the game to a wide open Scottie Pippen. Pip missed the layup, however, and Jordan finished with nine assists.

Pippen had somewhat of an off night offensively, hitting just four of 13 shots for 10 points. Ron Harper scored 13 points on 5 of 10 shooting.

The Jazz were led by Karl Malone's 20 points, followed by 19 from Jeff Hornacek and 14 from John Stockton.

The Bulls took a 2-0 lead in the series and prepared to head to Utah for games 3, 4 and 5.
