Utah up 1-0. The Jazz missing some bunnies early, it's all too easy for Mike though, the Bulls up 3 at the quarter break. Kukoc giving Chicago scoring, the Bulls up 4 at the half. Utah's making their outside shots, but anyone but Malone or a center isn't having success in the paint. After Chicago had pulled away, Utah hit the lead with consecutive 3-ball's. Keefe comes in and misses the wide open transition layup, then gets a lane violation on a Hornacek free-throw, who's a 90% shooter. Seems to the Jazz that they're getting an unfair whistler, but they're all correct calls, Utah up 3 going into the last. The Jazz bench's horrendous starting the 4th, then Kerr flops to get Malone his fifth foul and Jordan makes the and1. Utah still hits the lead late though off a Hornacek 3, but Chicago goes back ahead and the Jazz get nothing good thereafter. The series now tied at 1-1. The Jazz actually shot significantly better from the field and 3, 54% from deep to Chicago's 19%, the Bulls with more production at the line. Chicago significantly taking better care of the ball, with just 7 turnovers, Utah +2 on the boards, with Chicago dominating the offensive glass. Jordan with 37 points, 5 boards and no turnovers. Pippen 21 points and 6 boards. Rodman and Kukoc each with 9 boards, 5 offensive and 2 steals apiece, Rodman off the bench. For Utah, Hornacek with an efficient 20 points. Stockton 9 points, 7 assists and 2 steals, I feel didn't look to do enough. Malone an inefficient 16 points, 12 boards, 5 offensive, 3 blocks, but 4 turnovers.
3. (Chi) M. Jordan, 2. (Chi) S. Pippen, 1. (Uta) J. Hornacek.
