3. Bulls come back from 15 down in the 4th of Game 6, 1992
In Game 6 of the 1992 NBA Finals, the Bulls trailed Portland, 79-64.
While Jordan started the final period on the bench, Pippen and the bench (yes, the Bobby Hansen/Stacey King-led bench) clawed the Bulls back into the contest with a hot start while Jordan watched.
After Jordan entered the game in the fourth, Portland’s spirit was already crumbling, then MJ smashed Portland’s hopes as only the game’s greatest could do.
Jordan finished with 33 points, Pippen finished with 26, and the Bulls held Portland to just four points in the final four minutes to clinch back-to-back titles in the friendly confines of the old Chicago Stadium.
