The Day Michael Jordan Showed Karl Malone Who Is The Boss

good evening ladies and gentlemen and welcome to the delas Center for game number six of the NBA finals and a go number 23 to 66 from North Carolina Michael Jordan the Bulls are coached by Bill Jackson the mailman and in fact they lost four of his last five road games against his toughest opponents, the Pacers and Jazz, and Malone has abused him defensively. Jordan missed his first shot. Ahad Telli suffers from back problems. Malone hits his first Ked. Malone chases him to the side where he will belong. Chicago can also hit the outside Jake Malone came in long and Drew the foul that Malone puts on the ground and his foul is now 18 of 46 in the series Jordan is his first field goal and the Bulls take a 10-8 lead If he removes hippen with his hook hand on it Stockton takes it to Jeff, who misses the one-handed drive to score and charge Jordan for three he got it, he takes it to the lane he tries to get stronger but he loses his hip and his back goes.

They find themselves in a big hole, the Oster and Foster label has given them nothing in this series. A good pass from Malone inside for Horx. Jordan on Russell's rebound. Michael goes to Barell and Russell walks up and hits him. He managed to shoot it quickly. Jordan Will with a hand on his face. Forell Sky looks for the loose rebound to the side and finally it's Utah who has it here, there's a pullup three, it's Malone and it's Utah with the lead. Jordon Isley bounces to Malone, difficult shot, but he makes it. Jordan on Russell tied at 22 with half a minute. playing alone in the period against Winnington off balance, hitting him plus the foul, look Bob, that's what I'm talking about, being aggressive.

Isaiah takes the ball to the basket to a dozen alone on Jordan's first double team, forces the final shot of the quarter and misses but recovered for eisy two seconds to shoot and hits the three are calling the shot clock is on and they missed the call that he can't play so that could be the end for Scotting tonight B Jud pushing here tonight without passing Malone around Rodman to the rim and he missed just Carr with a basket here or take the lead with a three Jordan in and out on him oh there's a better shot for him than running off the glass Jordan rolls in around Anderson and again it's a two point game Malone in traffic took his and put it back that's the first offensive rebound you talked about Malone takes it and scored two points Bad very Jordan daylight for three here it is Tony Malone catches with difficulty picks it up in a car that fades to follow him, he is hit from behind and fouled.

TR to use his superior depth and keeps trying to wear down Michael Jordan. Jordan enters the lane. Hard shot. They fouled him. Michael Springs breaks free and takes CUO's lob from the crowd and misses Anderson flies can't hit the point Malone another attempt and there it is Utah didn't even try to contest that undershot I don't want to get in foul trouble Michael head pretends to be away alone in the Up and Down lane against Rodman, he's getting into a deep position right now on Rodman, the Utah Jazz are run 18 for postman Jordan for three and there's his answer, I think it's his third three of the three of three at the Delta Center in the first two games it's his third tonight and he has 19 points Malone tries to respond and he can and he has 20 to Jordan it was Russell's first basket here it is Michael has 21 I'm looking at Jordan and he's in Un Such a nice pace offensively, everything is coming to him much easier in the scoring game than we've generally had in this series.

It's Corac. Jordan is the guy they want even more than usual and that's why 15 of his 23 have come in this quarter. Russell trying to deal with Michael finally misses a Anderson is now cor SEC in Michael fades has missed two in a row now supplied by Malone Michael for three best defensive players anyway Malone the rebound to Russell two big assists in the last possessions of Malone 3 seconds Michael got to half court from there almost so Jordan had 23 matching his number in the first half but he missed his last four okay Jim and here we go Utah in possession to start the third quarter Malone Right to work Malone in and a whistle.

Malone against Longley and a foul and if it's long Malone between two red shirts pulls it down and now he and Rodman are all tangled up and it's Malone's turn to laugh and make fun a little Utah Jazz Jordan stops and connects to Horac Rodman's two solo Adam Keef eliminates Chris Morris for Utah here is Jordan alone, he passed it through his hands and it takes Rodman 4 seconds to shoot Jordan. I tell you what I love. I'm watching the battle between these two guys who are fighting. It's all they have, they are both trying to push, push and gain position and can't add to it, it makes Horex's task much easier if they leave him alone, he doesn't take all three.

Michael fades away, see if I'm ready. I pip and make one of those shots that really rushes to close here's Malone again he was fouled the basket would have counted the pass from Michaels to Scotty and finally the tip falls Rodman gets credit for the basket but it looked like Pippen was Jordan out Target corner had a good first half and hits it through the screen Michael takes it Baseline Jordan on the move against Morris double bombs misses the scoop Michaels confronted by Carr after Jordan against Anderson is still Michael Jordan, whatever that he lost due to fatigue look that matches Jordan between the legs and the jumper of the target rebound Morris Malone returns it to Morris, who cannot take it away from Kerr Malone falls should be a 24 second violation since no one had clearly established that Russell is on him, over him now Carr comes in on Comm Malone on Dennis Pippen's rebound against Utah in the fourth quarter Jordan with the jumper and with 37 points as Utah now falls behind for the first time since midway through the second quarter .

I see that he has had it for 40. I Malone, three defenders on him and They take it away Jordan on Horac short in the playoffs he would probably be sitting Jordan again Michael again Russell Carl's jumper Utah again in front great patient Rodman lacks offense on Dennis and there are already five Isaiah that's what you're talking about B jump off that screen and make Michael Jordan a passer throw it to Rodman who can't finish and you saw that Jordan gets tired right there. Malone has a lot of space, that's his favorite game. Malone approaches as if he were going to the post and shouts. for Stockton double pump knocked down by Carr and have Harper or Pippen hit you from the perimeter to the post.

Michael Short takes the lead with a three-pointer of his own Jordan and a blocking foul Stockton is on the ground Jordan is Malone crossed Stockton is there at three hien in Jordan Michael working on Russell takes them to one they scored in 4 seconds that's how fast that only doubles they hit him and steal him seven or of Championship number six Jordan opens Chicago with the timeout Utah 5.2 seconds left Michael Jordan spoiled with 45 points at the end of the game. You have to take it off your hands. He has beaten you so many times. Harper is on him behind the screen.

Harper got a part. He's coming off the bus from Chicago. They have won their sixth NBA championship and it is their second three when you lose by such a narrow margin. Speaking of the Utah Jazz, there are so many things to remember, but the Howard e 3 that was taken from us, thank you and congratulations, MVP of the 1998 NBA Finals. Michael Jordan
