February 15, 2019, Salt Lake City, UT, USA: Jordan collapsed into Scottie Pippen s arms as he walked off the court during a late timeout, a sleepless night before thanks to some bad pizza in his rearview mirror and another clutch, courageous performance in his making on June 11, 1997. He finished with 38 points, seven rebounds, five assists and three steals, not to mention the game-clinching 3-pointer in his leg-wearying 44th minute. The crucial Game 5 road victory prevented the Jazz from sweeping three straight home games. Two nights later, the Bulls closed out their fifth title at the United Center.
