“From Underdogs to Unbelievable: The Most Stunning NBA Playoff Blowouts Ever”
The series was even as the teams moved to the United Center in Chicago. Defense was pretty much the order in the first quarter with the Bulls leading 17-14, but the triumvirate of Jordan, Scottie Pippen and Toni Kukoc lifted the Bulls in the second.
Utah, however, couldn’t get anything going, trailing 49-31 at the half and the onus was on Karl Malone and John Stockton to lead a rally. Instead, things only got worse. Stockton didn’t score again and logged just one assist. His inability to orchestrate affairs led to the team’s collapse, as the Jazz scored just 14 in the third quarter and nine in the fourth.
