NBA Playoffs 1998 ECF Game 3 Chicago Bulls vs Indiana Pacers Full Highlights

the officials are dick pevetta Ronnie Garretson and Bernie Frye Smith back up Jackson now Rodman has him on a switch and gives him a bad signal on the first possession Michael two nothing in Chicago here's Reggie back to Jackson for three now Indiana had It's time to set up their half-court defense, which is very good. Miller hits the three from the corner before the Pacers can set up their defense. Pippin drives and bats well, he's open, two of his first three work long distance and the hook rolls. home Miller at the Drive Indiana has made his first four field goal attempts which were a great fake By Reggie Miller froze Ron Harper faded to the corner and then dribbled to the baseline from Rockman and then returned it to Mullen Reggie Davis from Jackson you Look at him getting ready for the three he told us yesterday.

I have to make my shot open. The bomb fake and the thinner bit that is the pad for Reggie Miller. Now the bomb feint. Exhaust trickle will move away from the bumper. Jackson passes to Pippen. and he scores that's something they work on every day in practice that type of footwork doesn't play the role Antonio Davis wins the rebound battle and scores Longley saves him the Pippin is a three on one with only the best defender and Pippen punches his face, this was incredible of Scotty Pippen, he gives the ball a little prematurely to Michael Jordan's right back and looks at Scotty Pippen with the wingspan and the long arm and Travis is the best he can do, he even tried commit the foul and Scotty just ran through him, how about the position Travis Best was in?

Did I let Michael Jordan knock me down or did I let Scotty Pippen dunk me? This would require many hours of examination to

y understand only at six after Smith made the free throws after the Longleaf Foul Michael Randy Brown Jim Jordan Michael calls for a breather now at the end of the first after making his first seven shots in this quarter , the Pacers have now missed 10 of their last 11. Here's Mark Pope ending that Morel stretch on a move to Harper eight in the 24th. Great coach, finger rolls McKee, narrow lead over Michael, shoots over Evan connects , who is a little too fast for him, but Kerr is on the court now face to face against the best, yes, Michael from the head of the key.

Chicago has its first lead since two nothing. Rose Point plays, finds Randy Brown and then Isaiah Thomas talked about his beautiful footwork and the jump shot came before the shot so Jordan is not on the line but the Bull comes in and it's Michael with the ball . Cuckoo's curve just needs a little daylight, that's all he needs Rose throws him forward Davis can save him but he doesn't have a chance Rose does I always worked on saturation theory, the more you got up the more you fell into hands of Isaiah's coach all three, instead of making Jackson go back there, well, he wouldn't have to worry about Pippin or forcing Phil Jackson to take Pippin off the bench.

Michael Jordan with isolation if you're going to give him this kind of time he'll find it. one way to get into the lane the ball is hit twice he measures it between his legs a little give and move lefty Antonio Davis guess who's coming back he's been crushed by the coach Outside by Antonio Davis in the help here's Rose dishing out to Jackson The one who ties the

game

is Antonio Davis look how he appears out of nowhere tell Scotty to get him out of here actually leaves Tony Cucos and comes and says Scotty we're still here and that leads to this in transition you see Jalen Rose choose the lift the ball and distributes it to Mark Jackson.

Mark makes a bomb threat. he waits. shoot right at the hole. Chicago puts it back into play and Jordan quickly gets in the line for Rodman for two. Miller catches the shot and scores. Pippin hits the foul line jumper Miller for three not carrying Jordan the other way Michael entry shooting 41 all we see the fast break here Michael Jordan really dominates the Indiana Pacer Defenders but Bob to finish the thought 41-0 are taken the time they have come out of that with an 8-2 run the opportunity to shoot two free throws here and what Isaiah is talking about here is going to halftime Jackson passes it to Mullins takes three Chris Mullen has it alone Dale Davis Dale Ellis who coaches Jackson Racing for the bucket and hitting it is Reggie Fade Away Baseline overtook him rebound picked up by Pharrell two seconds Michael blows the horn now for the Prudential halftime report that appears after these messages you're watching the NBA on NBC in lane dishes to Smith's Baseline jumpers only his third field goal attempt goes for an open throw and instead finds Michael having trouble with his trailer Running to the basket.

I'll try to go back, but Mom puts it in, he slips while he's spinning around, and then he mishandles the ball. I don't think it was a foul. I think Michael just passed the ball to Chris Mullen again with those quick hands and the easy goal. What does he normally do? He brings the ball directly to the basket and gives the referee the responsibility of calling a foul. Here's Pippin cutting in and Longleaf finding him with a nice bounce pass. Indiana extended their

-court press and when you extend your full-court press against the Chicago Bulls, they have natural press releases and that's why Scottie Pippen got the backup dunk.

Reggie got it. Pippin's Harper hits the open three behind the arc and Indiana pays Jordan by taking care of him, he's good, plus the foul longley is already there Winnington Rodman fighting on the board just tipping who has the loose ball Smith with the block Rodman trying to save it and it's out of bounds Indiana they're really fighting underneath look at the intensity look at Mitch as he blocks Scottie Pippen in the fight for the ball Dennis Rodman pushing couldn't make the shot Pippen is open here are his three and a big one and the Celtics still so they won the

game

in double overtime Weddington hits open Jalen Rose five seconds into Smith's shot Rose has to force it and Hanson hip and a slant jumper has been with a jumper and what do you know she shook the fake pass then I'll give it to you Another look and watch while I turn around or you're not going to mark me.

I think I can make this shot surprise Rose for three. That's what they had in mind. Pippen intercepted by Rose. Here they come two against one if they rush Rose. Davis now remembers how important team fouls are in the fourth quarter. When you get that penalty, you start shooting free throws, so it's very difficult to defend guys going to the basket when you have nothing to waste. The Pacers have two team fouls. Chicago. Travis's three best hits. Let's see if they take advantage of the fact that Chicago still has three team fouls, so they are two away from the penalty.

Here they are throwing it away and this is the most we have seen of Steve Kerr in this series. Plus, Jalen Rose delivers it from the baseline. Miller inside Davis is now better against Kerr coming at him and missing the running back, but McKay is there to follow up with a tough, difficult move. Jordan for the Pacers to try to take a two-possession lead, go back to Rick Smith or Miller, how about Miller? I'll do it, don't you think that's okay? You have to put your best players in the game right now and give the Pacers the ball for five after the three Michael cuts it to three.

Scottie Pippen looked at Michael Jordan that time and they were like, "Look, me." I have Reggie Miller on me, he can't guard me but he can shoot. Davis is calling for the ball. He has Jordan in the post. Let's see if you can deliver it to him, then lower him and hit him within three seconds to shoot. Reggie and Indiana in eighth place, he was a man who had made his entire reputation with 25 points per game in the postseason, not during the first two, but today in the home corner by three and Jalen Rose fouled him, but He has 92 percent free throws.

The shooter is better surrounded as they press the backboard, but he works three to Antonio Davis, so Jalen Rose Longley is one foul away from joining Rodman Miller for a three that may have ended the 26th pose for Reggie coach Davis He fouled him in one of three. for Cucos and Indiana they have not lost the game all year when they score more than 100 points they lose the ball but with only one minute left Chicago is desperate Pippin for three is long Jordan's rebounds have been fouled and they finally take it to the limit Eli throws the The ball inside will have to be very, very solid here, the Bulls will come after the best thing is to double in the defensive zone and is stolen by two coaches.

Here's Pittman wants a three that he could have cut in two and he does it, it falls again Here comes Rose to the rim wrapped up by Harper Jones, now trying to give the Pacers a break, they're up by three, look at this, look, now this free throw is big because it keeps the lead at two possessions otherwise it misses and the Bulls can. tie with a three-point play or a three-point shot and there are still two-to-one possessions in terms of 36 seconds on the clock, so of course we have two-to-one shots here if someone leaves a man open in penetration, friend.

I'll dribble and for three Too Short I'll pass it to Michael, that's there and it's a one point game with 23.7 seconds again. What happens is you have to block, look at Steve Kerr. Travis better not put his body on her and gives it to her. a second shot and Michael buries the three, but when that shot goes up, you have a face shield, you have to do whatever it takes, but you can't let Steve Kerr get an offensive rebound. I think Mullen and Smith should be on the court right now because they are excellent free throw shooters, they hit Davis, he makes them both, the Bulls can tie it with a three-point lead, now they are looking for the three, now it is Michael tripping on the line and committing a foul. try to go for it now put it on the ground try to attract contact try to get the referees attention try to get them to call us a foul look from the field now if Michael does both or misses 30 because Michael had two- In the points game , they get it to Miller, just the guy they want to get it too, and Harper fouls him hard, causing Reggie to fall back onto his bench and drawing all sorts of looks from his teammates directed at Harper.

Look at the challenge of fighting and competing in this. series, you know they could have easily gone out and accepted defeat to see Harper throw Reggie into the stands right there. Reggie trying to escape waiting for the foul, no, he's going to foul. Harper comes in to give him a good push and you see David stand up. Stand up and say: Hello, we're here Miller, hello, going to the corner, a four-point lead for Indiana. Michael catches the shot, can't bring it down to two rebounds from Pippen, four seconds left. Hitler is going to beat him up, but that's enough.

If they can get it done and Indiana, sweating until the last second, wins game three.
