Chicago Bulls’ History During Game 6s in Recent Memory

With their backs against the wall and their season on the brink, the Chicago Bulls face a must-win Game 6 against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Thursday night in Chicago. Can the Bulls recover some of their magic from years past in a crucial game with the season on the line?

After Derrick Rose created his own version of “The Shot” against Cleveland almost 26 years to the day last Friday night in Game 3, the Bulls haven’t won a game in the series.

LeBron James drilled a season-saving dagger in Game 4 from the corner and delivered his best playoff performance this postseason in Game 5 to put the Bulls on the brink of elimination against one of his teams for the fourth time.

However, history is on the Bulls’ side heading into Game 6 on Thursday night.
