7. Bulls slam door on Portland’s momentum in Game 5 of the 1992 Finals
The Bulls won the 1992 Finals in six games over the Portland Trail Blazers, but realistically could’ve ended the series much sooner.
After giving away Game 2 and Game 4, and letting Portland even up the series twice, the Bulls slammed the door on any thoughts Portland had of taking control of the series in Game 5.
Jordan was superb with a 46-point performance, Pippen was an assist shy of a triple-double in 45 minutes of action, and the Bulls bench chipped in 27 points, as the Bulls defeated the Blazers, 119-106.
