1996/11/06 NBA Bulls at Heat: Jordan scored 50 pts

last June the record-breaking Chicago Bulls and Michael captured their fourth crown of the 90s with Jordan and Dennis Rodman re-sign along with versatile Scottie Pippen the reigning champs and the great one have set their sights on repeat down in Miami Pat Riley has built his franchise around big man Alonzo Mourning with Tim Hardaway running the point the Heat are hoping to make waves throughout the NBA last year's early exit from the playoffs has been a bitter memory for Riley and the heat has Jordan stole the show tonight Michael and Alonzo to battle once again on TBS [Music] is sold out and why not because the world champs are in town and it's our first look at the defending world champion Chicago Bulls as they take on the team they conquered in the first round of the playoffs last year the Miami Heat and good evening everyone and welcome to the NBA on TBS I'm dick Stockton along with Hubie Brown and dick force ace and the NBA is in the middle of a bull market Chicago four titles in six years record 72 wins last year and they have started out this year he'll be winning their first three games including last night against the Grizzlies it doesn't seem like much has changed with Chicago now you have to look at it dick and say look the differential is 20.5 this season a year ago during the 82 games and then running through the playoffs they ran a differential of twelve point three now that is outstanding that was the highest that it had ever been offense and defense over their four championship runs major factor there 8ki scores are back again by that we mean you cannot win it with a starting five you must have the bench who coach Kerr and winning Fanaa rare and they've added the chief for insurance that's Robert Parish who did not play last night but probably will plate and I questioned that people want to know about the Bulls what could derail them from winning another title this time well I think you have to look at Dickon in fact that over this summer they had surgery the three key players you can see Scottie Pippen the left ankle Harper the left knee and in Longley teleph ankle now you say well what's the big deal well anytime you say 82 games eight exhibitions and then anywhere from 18 to 21 or 24 playoff games your key guys have got to hold up physically that will be a big question mark now as far as the Miami Heat is concerned Pat Riley told us today we don't have the team we dreamt about when we thought Juwan Howard would be on this team that was a bitter blow salary cap problems he's not here they still have a tuinal record in a good one-two punch in Alonzo Mourning in Tim Hardaway yeah they do but nothing can happen to these two people they cannot lose morning or Hardaway for any extended period of time the rest of the starters are role players these two guys can get you 20 2:35 on a given night but we all know that over this course of 82 games and the playoffs you need three key scores but they did add some quality defensive players on your second unit PJ Brown at 611 hike Austin at 610 and then Keith Askins coming back at six foot eight they have quality depth they have quality size the key for them during the course of the season dick would be 10 they score and the points and especially can they score morning and Hardaway are out and they're gonna go up against one of the best defensive teams in basketball perhaps in NBA history that's the story and we'll have the tip-off upcoming between the Bulls and the heat from Miami arena after this [Music] TBS NBA Wednesday is fought to you by

disappointed in the Laker three-and-oh star Shaq enter tonight's game at Charlotte at the NBA scoring leader 28 a game averaging 15 point three boards a game that's third in the league a little over three blocks per contest Anton I did Charlotte Chad made his presence felt early in the first quarter Vlade Divac was traded away by the Lakers to free up a prune for Shaq look out the diesel with the forearm picked up a technical foul right there also coming over in the blot a deal Kobe Bryant third pick 13th pick rather in the draft last June and 18 years old Cheryl two games kids scored one point growing pains well you know some growing pains the kid obviously ran into some roadblocks in New York and the first was another rookie John Wallace now Kobe Bryant is gonna have to have position down on the left block but a 6 9 Wallace is gonna use his frame to go over and through Kobe Bryant so Kobe says alright man you got me on that one he's gonna make sure he drives past them nice turnaround but oh god whistle for shuffling his feet now Kobe's finally to have an open lane but Otto comes face to face with the big boy buck Williams and Patrick Ewing but you know what to give the guy you got to cut the guy some slack here's a kid that obviously has the skills to be something special yeah Kobe thought school was out oh yeah I don't think so that's it for now Cheryl and I back with the Nike halftime report we're almost set the tip-off however in my last spring Jordan and company two steamrolled that heat in postseason tonight zone his pals try to save face Bulls heat

it if it's in the game sports in the game and welcome back to Miami the scene of Biscayne Bay at night and we're not that far away at the Miami arena as were set to go with tonight's game between the Chicago Bulls and the Miami Heat the here at the starting lineups brought to you by Circuit City Ron Harper and Michael Jordan the guards Scottie Pippen Luc Longley and Dennis Rodman up front for the Miami Heat Tim Hardaway's and the Sasha danilevich in the backcourt Dan Majerle Alonzo Mourning and Kurt Thomas up front Phil Jackson coaching the Bulls and Pat Riley for the heat between them they have won eight world championships you will never see a more prominent matchup of head coaches uv8 titles for apiece with distinct styles of play with Pat Riley Showtime best great games get it up and the opposite end with the Chicago Bulls the triangle offense everything methodical take your time very few fast breaks and as you saw Pat Riley is talking up his 800 career victory in their last victories and Indiana the heat in white the Bulls are in there read Longley will the jump center against Alonzo Mourning Ronnie none bill spooner and Tommy wood are the officials working tonight's game capacity crowd here in Miami last year the Bulls took three out of four in the regular season before sweeping the Heat three straight in the first round of the playoffs by Chicago Harper's guarded by Tim Hardaway and going to be the straight matchup there's toasting up vanilla is guarding Michael Jordan turn around and Jordan puts the Bulls on that dick T Jenna play Michael even got a piece of that shot Jordan 30 points in the opener 27 and and 22 points so he is picking up where he left off as Marley misses the free loose ball into the hands of Jordan position players really if wings and guards when you look at while they run the offense they they do it well the offense is built that everyone gets a chance to do their thing proper controlling nine on the shot clock now it slowly low post against Boris good seed inside the Jordan the basket good in the foul anytime that you allow them to pass the ball directly into the post person you're asking for trouble they either they either backdoor you from the corner or in this case keep an eye on Jordan as Luke Lee's to the right you can see he just ran without the ball now then elevates that time was thinking that Jordan was going to come back out off a double spring with his bow the first one in Jordan now as points and the Bulls lead at five nothing with less than a minute gone by they think now with Miami you can see the power game is getting in the morning and hope that he can get on the line turnaround baseline Rockman grabs the rebound Rodman has been a rebounding King again he is average daily 12 and a half rebounds with his first two and then he had a big game in his last one here's the fast-break part away popper try to get a piece of it and the Heat are on the score we have two excellent defensive teams here tonight they're both right in the top three newest points local shooter percentages against but they are both forcing FrontPoint the turnover the game by the opposition this should be a coming up and is 3 for 3 from the field and has scored the first anything sir of Miami slow things down right now get high percentage shots you must get some second shots in this ball game Thomas try to get the pass into Hardaway breaking for the basket but it's a lake block and a new 24-second clock for the Miami Heat the Heat last year 142 and 40 but to get there they had to perform brilliantly down the stretch winning 18 to the last 29 they did a terrific job ticket but then again you remember they ran 22 players through through their building during the course of the season only five of them remain today top nudity factor a little shaky for Miami last year morning leaves it out for Genoa Vista three he's got it shot seven elements from Serbia who averaged nearly big three-point shooting they are leading the Lincoln attempts this year with 23 a game two and a half minutes gone by in the opening quarter in Chicago Bulls leading 7 to 5 here Scottie Pippen's folks out of the game the offensive boy while he led the league last year in offensive rebounding at close to six a game and he did it again at playoff time six a game warden pulls up and finally misses a shot and a controlled [Applause] Thomas stone for his defensive exploits but children after filling the lane we're talking six 45 handled the ball and then the delivery of the past beautiful so morning gets the basket three different players of scores men were tied at 17 here is George Jetstream and Michael Jordan that was Michael Jordan at his best reading the defense the defense cheated on a double screen Thomas setting a screen for denilla who will go to the hoop against lovely in a 5-way left handed land [Applause] two games last year with a broken right hand he is a tremendous tied percentage a woman's face played in Europe every year with the three-point attempt of Watson offensive rebounder safe harbor plays up an air ball he is way off leaves it for development open in the corner morning he threw up an air ball his father we need [Applause] this is about he is a defensive player Pat Riley said one of the best thing a leg at power fall [Applause] and quickness that he's not going to take any guff Walker Rodney get Rodman his do Rodman has already picked up two offensive rebounds in this game and it's probably itching at Thomas now when these teams played in the playoffs last year Alonzo Mourning was thrown out of the game he ejected in Game one and fouled out in Game two so there's some bad blood between these two teams and he claimed that the Bulls laughed in their faces when they swept him last year yeah and all of the players were quoted this weekend Miami papers say but you're in the chorus talking was there and it should have been him the sacred vows they were not the lick step back so they all you know really have a little chip on their shoulder keep an eye right down here says right in the middle right there you're gonna see Rodman there they are right there it is a grip from behind and then Rodman comes with the elbow and you can definitely see why Tom just look right in his face double technical foul called against both Dennis Rodman at birth Thomas Thomas hits the free throw to give their first lead of the game now let me ask you question you're Thomas right now Robin gives you a shot I answer this question you go okay are you gonna stand and not pump in his face he didn't hit him he didn't hit them so why is he you see daddy Rodney maybe if they're sending a message of course before first get around these game gonna let me spot away by joy he turned around [Applause] ties the game at 11:00 and Jordan has scored all of Chicago's 11 points so he's off to a sizzling start tonight turnaround by morning Heatley 13 to 11 [Music] he needs morning he's their inspirational guy he's got to get it to them also he must get on the foul line and get boughs on the front lines they go to Longley working against Alonzo Mourning they feel they can work on warning [Applause] spins his way the beautiful spin road that my young marine the James Marley for freeing off the front rim and hopper the rebound Pippin brings it out heat back defensively with 648 to go with the first tight games to odd or even at / - notorious bounce water close-up [Applause] why Chris Thomas from he's file going you could see that one right in front of us a beautiful pass by Marley and let's give Thomas a lot of credit he was huffing and puffing and filling that Lane second ear player from TCU off to a good start himself oh man a Chrysler we seek to stir the currents of elegance of refinement innovation and style style so much style we challenge the road with a distinct flavor no one can ignore you should be over the drama back move into the momentum that is Graceland hello I'm Bill Walton for every point scored during TNT and TBS NBA telecasts in November and December American Express will make a $10 donation to the charge against hunger program and we know how NBA players love score points [Music] stolen I think of the doctor yes he's got it he carry calm [Applause] ask your cable or satellite provider about CNN si the sports news network National Geographic Explorer followed by topics tes destinations Sunday every Sunday night at 7:00 Eastern only on TBS I think last year and then when I touched that ball without my father being around the support system that which is normal for me it kind of capped off an unbelievable 15 months in that process a lot of things has happened and I'm just happy back to basketball I have a whole new understanding for the for the game and where I stand in the game and I think a lot of that has to do with my maturity as a person before a basketball player Michael Jordan who really is the symbol of this game right now and a gentleman you remember we talked about Julius Erving being the ambassador of the game he has succeeded Julius in that regard he carries himself so well dick then you know since he has come back during that month of March the last 17 games that lay off and then last season they are 46 and three in their building since his return he was not satisfied in the playoffs last year tendinitis gave him a problem in the Seattle series so he's worked four hours a day this summer to get his weight down so he'll play between five to eight pounds lighter than it did a year ago and he wants another title and if they stay healthy and focused forget about the 72 wins they're not even looking at win total this year and they're healthy as you mentioned going into a pole they've got to be the big favor Toni Kukoc has come into the game for the Bulls he's a a six man replacing Dennis Rodman - laughs - foul by the way was on Harper the Heat lead by one 14 to 13 - totes with a good pass into Pippen triple team good day on Pippen inside but he's working on Marley and he is determined Scottie chicken with the short jumper and the bull excellent mode there's a guy his initial move was defended perfectly by Marley but Jenny still has more game Marley is left open by quick hopes for free the ball comes out in the hands of Turk Thomas Hart away for three and he misses morning is fouled by or pippin going in but the heat fine a lot of fries they keep firing away from outside [Applause] you're going to give you a good look here see Marley's allowed to put that forearm in the back see pimpin gives him three moves Marley was with him every time but then any time that you have size on a defender and you throw that fade away with any kind of a rainbow are you're in business got to be the most embarrassing thing any player can do and morning that turns his head in embarrassment so morning with another shot here he has led to the heat and scoring in the first two games seventh in the NBA with over 23 points last year and 8/10 rebounding and blocked shot leader at only six hands he is not a giant among Giants he led the NBA in foul shot attempts last year at 10.2 again that is an incredible statement because he's giving away size every single night tied at 15 Scotty Pittman short with the turnaround and Thomaston morning battle for the loose ball coming down to the hand Thomas Dylan yeoman's work under those five rebounds with the follow-up and the Heat lead 17 to 15 and a chance to open up a three-point lead now in the first six and a half minutes you can see that my enemy is getting the advantage every time that they push here's a good look at that time by Timmy Hardaway and he takes the center to him opening up morning they must continue to push this is dare type of tempo Ron Harper with his second personal foul boy now with eight points George with 11 top Chicago and the heater up 5-3 with 520 remaining in the first quarter if you have to remember his Chicago played at home last night and in travel got him I got into Miami at about 3:30 everyone went to bed about 4:00 a.m. so go over Thomas and the rebound by Marlo's the Heat the very fine first the corner of his he say Hardaway overthrows Thomas had a bond we haven't had many turnovers so far in this first quarter now it's been nice Thomas ball for that Timmy just made a a bad chest each team has one turnover so it's about as bit as minimal as you could expect here's Longley working out of that triangle offense Jordan shooting over Marley and he misses Cortland red-hot early missed a few ladies rebound by he's still have 438 to go in the bird the Marley's had four open looks on three-point shot so far TM vanilla will be open all night long Jay Johnson get some time about percent this is a two-point shot by Hardaway and a with his second basket that is a five point by with less than 420 remaining in the first quarter the heater on a six to nothing run now against the maybe of the tea Bowl team at this time this potato goes up walk by morning block shots last year wide-open vanilla for the moment and Thomas from the corner how out of sight is Kurt Thomas in this first quarter he why do you have to look back in sake this guy led the NCAA rebounding the average he had over 20 rebounds four times in a sea [Applause] 40 points four times so you know not only is he a horse and in that powerful position but he also gets scored can you got a town but you got a problem they're too nice I'm gonna make you bad ok mr. lambier [Music]

our first opportunity and I hope it's not our last by any stretch to send it to our third member of our team dick forsakes Thank You dick I'm here with Randy fund vice president of the Miami Heat and it was a big day not only for the nation yesterday President Clinton was re-elected but some big news as far as your new arena well we got the vote yesterday for our new arena and it's just very exciting to us we have a great owner here in Micky Arison he stepped forward with another hundred million dollars to keep the heat in Miami in a waterfront Stadium which is where we want to be so if we keep playing like we're playing in the first quarter is gonna make it a perfect week for us well I met Bergeron Howard said he wanted if he was here he was gonna take a boat to practice to be able to do that we'd like to be able to do that we want all our players live in a nice place they want to take a boat to practice that's great all right Randy front thank you back to you dick and you V Michael Jordan where the baseline jumper is fouled so Jordan red-hot early getting a bit and now it looks like he's back on the II mean with 13 points the personal foul is on denilla his second personal opposed have come in with a couple of substitutions Dennis Rodman has checked back in the game and the first appearance for Randy Brown the 16th guard they're looking to lighten up the load on Harper and also hopefully over the course of the year the Michael Jordan will play reduce minutes right now Dennis Rodman playing the center position Vance off the hands of Thomas so the hard way Thomas connection short-circuits for the second time tonight Scottie Pippen leaves it for Brown gets much offense don't go close down to Pippa Marley on him plenty of time on the shot clock he's 15 to go in the quarter off the screen cocoa here brown two seconds on the clock they didn't really have a gloss on that sequence Rodman tried to clean it off he could be by the Miami [Applause] and Marley has been doing an excellent job on Scotty piston off the dribble Pippen is skort but two points us bar coming in averaging 18 morning's turnaround and a rebound by Jordan the Bulls trailing by four 2:45 to go in the third quarter Hardaway picking up Brown caught right to the squid Jade on the shot clock Jordan with a lotta room on screen ahead of the packs is morning and he's Wow trailing him and one of them picks up the personal foul that'll said morning to the line and you'll be talked about how often he gets to the strikes and this is just a good look by barley getting it up ahead and in a smart foul right here will force him to get you to miss let's see him go to the foul line and make the mouth shut now this year Alonso is only shooting 50% from the foul line but throughout his career he's in the mid 70s he gets to the line so often throughout his career he's never ever less than 8 of 10 and he's always in that 9 to 10 plus per game Brown picked up the foul on warning who will be under the microscope according to Pat Riley there you see what he has done thus far 10 touches for 4 from the line 9 points already he's been found three times so obviously he was a Pocahontas yeah he's missed two foul shots also the key with Alonzo Mourning to the tournament last year he averaged close to Flora jeans and they're trying to get him they practice double teaming in that so that he will get better in 20 people 23 to 18 the Miami Heat leading does he lie down a few minutes ago and a cutter [Applause] you be referred to as the open and a three-point basket by Hardaway only the second four they meet in six pies eight point by Emily 26 to 18 I thought Hara way was wearing a golden state that's our time with Don doubts another side my Vicky has it underneath her shirt as Randy brown this is a thing will have a offensive foul he just doubles this one right up to the line stops behind it and it's always something that you've got to protect against because he's a quality three-point shooter always around 36 38 descent Tim Hardaway goes to the bench he has scored seven points and Gary brand the nine-year veteran from Michigan who played in 47 games with the Knicks replaces him in Keith asked use another fine defensive player has also come in for Miami Jud butch ler has checked into the Bulls lineup and he's guarding Dan Majerle with 133 to go in the quarter PJ brown leaves it for Gary grants loose ball [Applause] eight-point Miami lead bullies led seven to two of since then it's been all Miami yeah I'd like to see them dip down inside to morning boys pompous and worth a little let's see if watch two folks can defend them how about outside good morning as a lot so now heat eleven-point seems to lead for Miami twenty-eight to 18 biggest lead of the game around throws it up in these foul by ground as a bad foul by grant he just said told his teammates you know my fault that time Brown came from the opposite side of the floor with me what Chicago did do they don't run the triangle offense we want to spread and open offense three people outside high and in two in two corners they passed to a wing and they just cut beaten with their quicker did he say my fault or did you say my dad like filippo used to swim well I'm not so sure Gary grant has done a nice job for Pat Riley in the first two games and extremely happy further down the strong offensive by Rodman who else here's two coats working again Pete a ground kept by morning he got a piece of it and out of bounds last touched by the heat it'll be Chicago ball Dennis Rodman guest now has four offensive rebounds and everyone says well you know he's only six foot 76 for date the only weighs 210 pounds he should be able to keep them off the board how about the anticipation of highness Jordan fouled as he changed over to his left Michael Jordan will go to the free-throw line and Alonzo Mourning's burst out that was a primetime wait for Michael that's the third time now that he has spun to the baseline and he's asked or or been found his first pal the numbers on Robins seven rebounds at five off the offensive glass and that is why the Chicago Bulls probably won the world championship last year because of what he built off the door after one well anytime you say that a guy's going to get your six offensive boards and no because the shots are within eight to ten feet of the basket the second shot you're going to store four out of those six times that's eight points when you think about it the majority of playoff games in the NBA is decided by six points or less Bulls are spending their defense which 15 on the shot clock I don't care a half a minute to go in the first quarter north one out of two from the line here's warning over Rodman well played by zone key right now I've got to go down inside rattlin has got to prove to me that he can stop morning and if he can't stop them I want him in valve Oh 3219 that's the biggest lead of the game for the Miami Heat warning has 13 [Applause] and North goes up the ball knocked away with point five [Applause] that was morning the number against Dennis laughing Jordan misses half the butter Miami Heat off to a brilliant start thanks to that babe to block shots leading the way and after one the heat lead the Bulls 32:19 movies for guys who like movies Thursday go the distance with Rocky do you wanna read

55 percent from the field to only 35 percent for the Chicago pull or the Chicago Bulls and there is the greatest coach winning wives of all time Don Shula going to the dollar well when you go back to Don chills early beginning then you think of all of the coaches who were assistants at that time and it's it's really amazing and naturally the incredible job that he did at Baltimore as well as Miami and a wonderful man on top of it all alleged taking in the heat tonight Jordan is 6 of 11 from the field the rest of the Bulls have only two basket as you look at the breakdown of the field goal percentage as we start the second quarter Steve Kerr's into the game for the Chicago Bulls he's guarding Gary's rant Bastion is also in there with barley PJ's around and Alonzo Mourning here's Scottie Pippen he's got Cheetos Rockland / and Loggins hook oats with the basket on his push background and he is fouled so two folks with advancement for a three-point play now you really hate to see that the cardinal sin of the defense is fouling a jump shooter and that was the first time that the Chicago Bulls have scored in any type of transition the Bulls are not what we would call a real fast breaking type of team they lope down they get their advantages two on one three-on-two tour on afraid because this is the free throw at 20 in the opener against Boston's 14 last night against Vancouver he's been bothered last year the broken thumb and then he's had a sprained left ankle he'll be pointed out a lot of these veteran tools are banged up and a whistle and a foul away from the ball every time that they hit that high post on the right side there the man from the corner and Rodman picks up number two now you're going to see it right now to the left of your screen you're going to see Steve Kerr go through and any grabs on that debt to me was hardly a foul but Rodman now with two so Pippen and Rodman and Harper all with two fouls for the bull baseline turn around Alonzo Mourning he had 13 in the first [Applause] Miami this boy he's really worked on that shot over the Sun he's bound at the Elijah on fadeaway filled by Gary grant he'll take it in and the heat with their biggest lead of the game we have two teams here who are leading the league there one in two in forcing turnovers both of course 20 a game you know the Heat are doing this um self defense because you fall down by 12 to 15 points against Chicago you kind of lose your enthusiasm very tight defense bottle Miami Heat Purvis is a three zone underneath the peach long was wide open unfortunately Thomas never Psalm 34 to 21 in favor the Miami Heat hockey the Wolves here in the first half three and oh the heat to low - pass - Marley - whoa - finally get to anyway and morning now as a man's man sparring man I mean he came right through knocked away to red shirts to get that ball this is a game to be played only by Fangio be less tasteful seven Alonzo warning had a foul committed against CM I'll keep an eye on this fadeaway Alonzo worked on this move all summer to get it on that side of the floor and then here watch to the left of your screen and I he comes through right here and then right up in there between splitting two coats in long lines Haskins committing his second personal foul warning goes to the bench right now replaced by Isaac Lufkin and scottie pippen who has his second bathroom he never gave Marley credit he's vacant Scottie work hard pass peek a crown Chicago Bulls and potentially get some earlier do is throw bounced against in a delay on 13-point lead for the heat 915 to go with a hand butoh doesn't call [Applause] pumpkins Pat Riley is very high on peers off with a turnaround Isaac Lufkin SVA keep bringing out the point keep forcing action with your Miami every time you get a manners steal push the ball hard the Bulls are not getting back their extremely sluggish this evening in the early going but you're getting two three on two in the Toni Kukoc guilty of the offensive pal [Applause] Michael Jordan remains on the bench as the Heat have opened up a 15-point lead here with a little more than four minutes gone by in the second quarter Austin put the handle in here chicken Tippin good defense by Hardaway they have stopped cardinal rule of pivot plays when the pass is made to lead the best [Music] [Applause] 38 to 25 per the three-point yeah 31 years at 52% of their last year's second the lead grant working on curve here's Ike Austin just a two-out walk but lost the tool Wacka trip bonded by Brown wall knocks it out of bounds nice touch however he and developments will come back into the games of Miami and Randy brown Kondabolu I still haven't seen Michael Jordan yet in the second quarter he scored 15 in the birth the grant did his job did it well goes to the family wrap Wow the free he's got a beautiful koi totally unselfish play scottie pippen and that's the first from downtown for the Chicago Bulls who come now with his ten points of the Miami here 735 to go in the first pan here's sausage ability with their runners and he has that shot that he likes that North Talent we have to look at him he's six foot seven he has long arms it he has the ability to get off a high percentage shot vanilla Natalie the shooting guard Rex Jackson of course is here last year no longer here the people have liked to have kept on with the John Howard Payne possible Brown pj Brown that is his first foul and that'll send Luke walking to the a lot longley ended up with a very poor sentence type of the shot and then to get a foul called on the top of the really bail luc longley who had bone spurs removed from his left ankle has had tendonitis a disease you know interesting if these around today everyone where they see the route on both knees well it's interesting the trainer this year because of the age of the team 13 years in the starters what they're doing is they're stretching for longer periods of time they stretch when practice is over they're all on diets now and they're trying to do everything to preserve them for when the playoffs begin expires turning it over to the board Michael Austin is guilty of two turnovers here because it's trying to do too much I think Pat Riley would be very happy if he would just take it to the rim because he has a very nice game but is back to the best 642 remaining in the first half NBA double-header actions [Music] Oh [Music] wise [Music] [Music] when developing the psychokinetic watch we applied for 50 patents how could we fit them all inside we took out the battery psychokinetic the amazing quartz watch that never needs a battery [Music] I'm here with legendary coach Don Shula coach everybody wants to know what you're doing now well I'm watching heat basketball or hustling it's a great game and it's always fun to watch the Bulls this is what I'm interested in right now and supporting the heat dolphins and you know the other teams that I'm interested in in the National Football League all right so you still must keep a very close eye on the dolphins no question about that you know I'm hoping that they can get it untracked and then start winning some games they get a big one coming up this week with the Colts coach it's a pleasure seeing you as always thank you and I enjoy this all right back to picking you be right dick it's good to see Don chillin his wife Mary Ann here at the Miami Heat game and enjoying some other sport normally this time of year he is busy looking in film and probably doesn't get home much gold well Michael Jordan now for over five minutes finally comes back we said that they did not arrive until late Gigio went to bed at 4:00 but Phil had him up by 11 because they practiced here today at 12 o'clock Jordan is fouled and will go to the line Michael Jordan with 15 points in that first quarter and the PJ Brown with his second personal Dan Majerle will come into the game replacing key baskets Michael is blowing by people decision I mean he looks so sharp and when he elevates no contest he's getting excellent shots now the people wanted to charge in high school and college that would have been a charge but in pro basketball they are going to protect the players that elevate and is like an unwritten it's about a three to six foot depending upon his referee out from that RIM to protect the guys when the elevator Jordan was five for his first six from the field now six for 11 but he'll get his points somehow some way and he'll get him in straight hits called free throw or Michael Jordan and the Heat lead at 115 points now down to eight the full-court press has not turned the ball over once yet he could go into it every time barley going baseline that's his first basket of the game remember he is there shooting in scoring forward now averaged nearly 11 a game for the Cavaliers playing in every one of the continents last season here's Brown the free long-range lot rebound Wally taps it out on a volleyball player to Brian that's what under six minutes to go in the second quarter Jordan finds wall-e setting a screen for Scottie Pippen's but my Boston stay rhythm and brown as it deflected by Austin I think it was Austin who got a hand on it for the block here's Hardaway pulley knows he rushed the shot a bit out of bounds and it's last touched by the heat when you have such an outstanding defensive edge you know effort and then you blow it up the floor you get that uncontested three or a nice 15-foot jumper you can see that was like a that's okay that's okay good in your heart was and you gotta knock those down he wants a very structured offense Jordan over three defenders if Michael Jordan ever forced the shot that problem he was other reason why the red shirts come up with the offensive rebound is that three guys right like a magnet to Mike Longley with 642 234 finding out a eight-point Lanza warning has been on the bench has scored 17 getting ready to come back in the game Boston from Kurt Thomas hey you gotta like Kurt Thomas football just made a beautiful thing that's the second nice bounce pass in spelling and often with his second field goal and the turnover often now barley developments the please yeah shots of divots with his second from downtown and after being threatened by the Bulls as Miami by picking up BJ Brown and I Causton they've added six pen and 6/11 two big long players you put him with Thomas in there you had the luxury of taking morning out of the game and Sasha Davila is 4 for 4 from the field [Music] TBS NBA Wednesday is brought to you by the new award-winning Jeep Grand Cherokee and by Goodyear this is it gentlemen finds like these turned careers into legends it is a legend I mean it's responsible for the entire species I can't believe it to this kind of shape after so many years all right let's get it out of here get the crane wait let the keys in it the legendary Jeep Cherokee sport it could be exactly what you've been searching for crabby by footlocker of all the laws of nature you are my Saviour it's not your fault you exist but gravity you are no friend of mine you do not belong in my house my hill

come to you a story is little shack horny so no matter who you are or what you plan to do learn how to read it opens up a whole new world it's a good thing he doesn't play basketball back here to Miami arena and it was this past Saturday that Pat Riley took this Miami Heat to Market Square Arena to face Reggie Miller and the Indiana Pacers the Heat won 97 95 giving Miami his first ever win in Indianapolis but bigger gave Pat Riley his 800 career win the quickest and a coach has ever achieved that milestone big road win for the Miami Heat who had defeated the Atlanta Hawks at home in their opener and doing a good job so far against the world champion Chicago Bulls at this this is how they stack up best winning percentage amongst the coaches well Pat Riley has been able to do it now in three different franchises and as you look we all know Showtime in LA New York the bad boys and the rock solid defense and then down here we said last year he ran through 22 players for only five guys remain they did win 42 games that was the most wind in the history of this franchise and he has a theory he said eight I will play seven I will use six I will rotate in five I will trust that is Pat Riley's theory how he's going to operate his personnel Michael Jordan in on the elbow and such a vanilla who have scored 10 points has now picked up his third personal one thing that you know [Applause] [Music] anytime that you go up with Michael you better not get close because if you get a piece of them they're gonna put him on the line now there are some guys who elevate in this league they get hit and there are no calls but I think he does deserve that type of respect and you say elevator levitate I wasn't sure what server George then folks 7 of 8 from the free-throw line and Michael Jordan now with 19 points he leads the Chicago Bulls Alonzo Mourning back in the game with 17 for the heat and by the way Miami held their own pretty well without morning he was out for almost 6 minutes and were outscored by only 2 points turned over Thomas lost the ball under the hands of Scottie Pippen with over 4 minutes to go 27:36 by anime by 11 Jordan pulling up and Sasha's not gonna get here he really feels it's in the first step his first step is so quick tonight and then on the quick elevation he's right up over the top of the DeMaio 21 points for Michael Jordan in a 20-second timeout called for by the Miami Heat keep an eye on this move now once he makes them with there's two stop and he's up there's nothing that the milivoje can do about it he's not known as a great defendant to begin with but no one guy is going to stop Michael where he wants to go before Michael retires his first time years in the league the average 23 shots a game since he has come back he's averaging 22 shots again you are not going to stop them because the shots are there and there you see last year 30 point for 50% from the field is rebounding was the same so he picked up where he left off and got another world championship and tonight has scored 21 of the Bulls 38 points I think the other thing you always have to look at his career and say the six rebounds are there the six assists are there he always shot over 50% he always shot over 84% on the foul line then he's always in the top three in steals and then you say well then again he does to make the first team all-defensive let's add an asterisk if he turns it over and with 329 to go the Bulls are making a run they were down by as much as 15 cut it to eight and found themselves down by 14 now they're trailing 47:38 she made a statement in the first water the Heat are playing good basketball no turnovers since that time time is a rash I will not take credit for jinx again just Pippin working against PJ Brown one second on the shot clock that's a dagger in the heart sometimes and then back six down the Bulls trail 47 to 41 that under three minutes to go in the first half by the otago sooner or later they'll come after Ron Harper with the steal Brown 40 doubles it all that won't matter because he threw it away for a turnover nonetheless you're allowed to drop the ball in and pick it up as long as you do not move that was not a turnover you can see right here now coupe goats here's your shot right in the face and you know he's the prime town he's been offensive threat but at this end they have stolen the ball now four times from the high post player in this water Rodman is starting horny now that's a switch Longley is out of the game so morning working against Dennis Rodman had not ended morning bones it is good second effort by Alonzo Mourning who really is the really the landmark of this club he is the symbol [Applause] put it through not the grand one-handed grab and a whistle and Rodman and a loose ball foul keep an eye to the right of your screen watch how high up Michael is not bad not a bad catch I contact how long have they been doing this they've been doing it for so long it's just beautiful to watch the two of them play now they were just down big here note note panic they kept Michael out for the five minutes because they know that their defense night in and night out will bring them back there's so much confidence and then they do have two guys who can finish to a little bit I think they were in our picture though Kurt Thomas picked up the foul Rodman hits the first free-throw battle they go the highlight reel tonight we can be sure 49 to 45 and the Heat lead once 15 points down battle for with under two minutes to go in the first half and the crowd has been quieted by a Chicago Bulls offensive display we made a little statement earlier tonight will host people please meet the bed it's Boston four turnovers before Hardaway's fine PJ's runner hits a big chopper that stops the bleeding momentarily for the here's Pippen who's got Jordan Rodman Harper and glucose minutes remaining in the first half Kuzco sighing away heavy coats and a runner by hardily this [Music] tipped away by Foucault that was a great play inside [Applause] Scottie Pippen who nails it and the Chicago Bulls Oh can I turn the ball over [Applause] [Music] this year golden opportunities and in this half day of this day tongue down him Marley with the layin inside 53 to 49 with 45 seconds remaining and 20 on the shot clock Chicago to no one's surprise and come back big heal in the second truck hip and stop and go and browse the five yes four times four coming up on the Nike halftime report Vince Cellini is joined in our Atlanta studios by Cheryl Miller blah TV BOTS and his new team take on his old team Charlotte Hornets hosting the Lakers tonight juicy highlights in that game and all the other NBA action tonight coming up on the Nike halftime BJ Brown has picked up his third foul so the elements and brown both were three personals for the heat and coming in as Heath asking said a DJ Brown of event well basketball strategy standpoint Dennis Rodman is allowed to stay in this game because the youth did not vote Alonzo Mourning down no wait Chris Janice keep him from getting a high percentage shot panicking kid warning got to go that room the Train and Michael Jordan you meant to all defense comes down the floor and deflects the pass that could have resulted is an easy layup for the heat so it's still Miami's ball they had 18 on the shot clock and 29.6 remaining in the first half he Paskus number two in bounding the body and Chuck Hardaway morning Kurt Thomas and well here's a street shooting over Kempen wild free [Applause] we'll play for the last shot of the birthday and a timeout called by circle that's a 20-second timeout with 12.8 told us today he said you know did they get up by a half-a-dozen the way they play well you have to look at the playoff last year Chicago knocks him out 3-0 they win by an average of 23 points again they turn them over one times a game and then they outrebounded by eight now if you think about the second quarter the turnovers were there in a rash they're controlling both boards and all of a sudden they've narrowed that gap it's a team that is beautiful to watch because they're never out of the game because their defense is so solid they have an incredible confidence and their offense even if the offense is not flowing because of Pippen and Jordan and Kukoc they can get their shot off the dribble Scottie Pippen with 11 Michael Jordan has 23 34 between those two they've done it before they're you looking instituting percentages by having fifty five percent still shooting 55 but look at the Bulls again they went from 35 to 59% in a second field they have all their 3-point shooters in and they're gone sit down George Tiffany and Pippen betrayed that's it coach Brown six points in the last 12 seconds [Applause] he have to still be in shock an exhibition you Michael Jordan hits the three after Scottie Pippen hip two three and the Bulls finish on a twenty three to six run well they bring in ker and in Harper and in they're going for the three but see this is careless right now with 2.0 seconds watch see this is a long pass Michael just laying in the woods beautiful ball fake and then that one was at least six feet behind the line you know you hate to say it for a Miami crowd they got their money's worth in the last 12 seconds of the first half 57 to 53 the Bulls in front after one half testing the new Eagle Talon TSI today is Sharon a professional driving instructor ready let's go make sure real popular with road crews too lots of power three 16-valve turbo 210 horses wouldn't

reckless abandon and when I die I want to say that I did carpe the diem no matter how cold how wet and how nasty the PM was the Nike halftime report is brought to you by Nike who encourages you to participate in the lives of America's youth and welcome back here at Atlanta to check it a scoreboard showing Chicago with a four point lead at the half in Miami using a twenty three to six run at the end of the half to assume that lead and hi everybody and welcome to the Nike halftime report where we cut loose with the swoosh Vistula knee along with Gerald Miller and on a night when four of the six NBA unbeatens tried to keep it that way and one of those perfec toes the Los Angeles Lakers the Lakers three and oh and with Shaq averaging double figures and points and rebounds through those three games tonight the Lakers in Charlotte for Game two of a three-game road trip and the LA guy's reunited with rowdy D thoughts Shaquille O'Neal working on geiges is poking that one in 12 to 9 Lakers in the first quarter than Anthony Mason likes to put the ball on the floor and takes it in struck a Kobe Bryant now in our pregame we were talking about this kid averaging point by the game sure I told you the kid had skills that is a long long three-pointer he's 18 and he knows what he wants he wants that basketball then Eddie Jones don't give him the baseline it's gonna hurt you a little bit you did right there the Lakers leading at the half 41:33 but look at the hornets now 72 67 in the fourth quarter Shaq had 12 in the first half 15 now in the game Vlade is struggling tonight Detroit very happy three no and posting Dallas but not happy about this Grant Hill sitting this one out with a sprained right wrist x-rays were negative I think Laimbeer would have played through that injury however here's Jimmy Jackson coming up with a steal to his newest bestest buddy Jason Kidd who finishes with a layin and early time thinking at eyes none for Doug Collins Stacey Augmon now comes up with a steal when grants not in the game you go to gentlemen Joe Joe Dumars spotting up for the three pistons closed the second quarter with a 14 to 3 run first and it is 4839 at the half here in the third quarter the Pistons taking advantage of the Mavs kid with a dozen Dumars led with 11 and a half back to Charlotte and now Cheryl and Vlade Divac to the guy coming in changing teams struggling a little bit offensively he was averaging six and a half a game after two games well you know I think Vince it's a matter of being aggressive and it certainly hasn't been the case for Vlade Divac it's matter of fact I think his lack of presence in the middle will eventually hurt the perimeter game especially when you think of Dale curry and when a healthy Glen Rice gets back it's going to allow teams to just play them straight up defensively now when you look at and compare a bla TD box to some of the other centers around the country man look at O'Neill 29 attempts bloody d-bots you can't stand on the perimeter and shoot them shot and expect to get to the free-throw line this guy certainly hasn't been getting the job done now Vince I know a lot of people will say it's an unfair comparison to some of these guys but blondie divas definitely has the skills to compete with these guys in league he doesn't have the numbers he may have a win tonight though that's Malik Rizzo with them in town we have to break but coming up with a Nike halftime report the entire Miller family's gonna be here including Cheryl's crazy uncle frosty okay no we don't have him we do have some Reggie video though he came out smoking at the fleet center those highlights more coming up [Music] when I took the high endurance challenge from Old Spice I really thought it was gonna be challenged I mean

slipped to Owen to the night one little brother Reggie Miller was all set to go and all set to shoot hmm no Reggie knocking down the long dragon discovered on the dress the Boston crowd don't you know it's the width cares he had room to talk outscored Boston 18 to 17 in the first quarter a little bit look at the selfies come back Dino Raja with the layin 58-41 though Andy's still in front now later with the third quarter Rick Fox thanks Dino again and the foul Celtics tie this game at 64 that Indiana was ice holding third quarter outscored 38 to aid in the third that eight was a franchise Louis of the Celtics turning this thing around but in the fourth quarter about four and a half left it's the Celtics with a three-point lead the spurt don't score much they don't give up too many points either at USAir arena facing the bullets and Chris Webber follows his miss and on this putback 14 points and 10 rebounds of the first half alone later in the second quarter no David Robinson Sean Elliott assuming to scoring duties and he does part of a 10-2 run then 45 43 Spurs here and Dominique Wilkins from Greece with love 7267 in the fourth Elliot has 15 of the game powered with 20 Webber 14 points and oh and three meats - a gnome Milwaukee was hosting the Grizz this evening Vancouver was routed by Chicago last night you see that score in the first quarter from Milwaukee Cheryl back to the Washington Bullets playing the waiting game now with the big 7-foot senator George Muresan is what the right hip flexor injury now what's the status on big George well the here coach Lynam talked about it this guy is so excited that his big man is coming back matter of fact he practiced with the team not full contact he's steadily improving they're anticipating big jords coming back next week against Detroit and you're talking about a team looking forward to the big guy this is what they have to look forward to from the big George Muresan the big fella on the inside with the rebound now watch big George on the defensive end nice recovery oh I love the way you toss it big George and now with the nice offensive end nice up and under with a nice hook underneath I'll tell you they're really looking forward to big George I mean here's a guy that last season finished scoring finished with shooting 59% from the floor they really miss his presence in the middle yeah rod Strickland was asked about his return they said well you have to adjust the big George being back says no I'm not gonna have to adjust that much a man make sure you make sure you watching this good take care of him I think Ari talked about a hurting George Morris on speaking of hurts Denver for real Afonso Ellis out four to six weeks he has set for surgery Friday on his left knee now let's injure the knee last night against the Clippers trying to take a little jump shot here had to leave the game just two minutes in to no longer go another tough break for a very very good guy Ironman campaign his rookie year when he played all 82 Ellis has been missing in action over the past couple of seasons sitting out a hundred thirteen contests in that span all right Cheryl this really hurts it'll mean it's a bad pun but because Denver needed his scoring maybe more than ever there's a huge way I mean you look at Don McLean as gone in machmood Abdul Rauf is no longer with the team either and Lafon so else they were really counting on his scoring but you know what from a personal matter I know what it's like to suffer a knee injury it's it's debilitating and the recovery time is long and here's a guy

anniversary South Beach in Miami and inside of sold-out Miami arena where at halftime with the Chicago Bulls stunning the Miami Heat with a late spurt leading 57 to 53 he'll be amazingly the Chicago Bulls scored 23 points in the last four minutes and 10 seconds that would translate out to 66 points for a quarter I was phenomenal the way they came on that was a great ending their defense was spectacular in the second quarter forcing seven turnovers you look at him Jordan 26 points rated Pippen score 14 points Dennis Rodman did his usual nine boards five offensive read what would in there that's right Kukoc comes off the bench does this thing and they just stay solid let's take a look at some halftime statistics the heat out shooting the Bulls 55 to 48 they were pretty consistent but you saw Chicago made that run Alonzo Mourning has already exceeded his playoff average against the Bulls last year when they went down three straight in the first rounds of the playoff and has doubled the rebounding output but this was the last 12 seconds of the half you I'll keep an eye on Hardaway see Hardaway just looks at Pippin Pippin is thinking nothing but a three now this is where everything was compounded Thomas tries to throw a half-court pass you never do that Jordan that was right to two red shirts and then Jordan just knocks it down keeps that in this half Chicago Bulls 13 for 17 from the foul line now Alonzo Mourning had a spectacular half himself you can see the touches very little double-teaming his shooting is a good job also he has six offensive rebounds to throw into that mix so he I'm sorry go ahead he's doing his job he just needs some more help and there you see what Jordan has done against the defenders against him yeah and it's multiple defenders know one guy he's going to play him during the course of the night they said at least three or four guys would take a chance and of course Jordan and the Bulls went on a tear when vanilla picked up his third foul he was up by 13 and that's when the Chicago Bulls went to town and Pat Riley telling us today he knows he has two scores in mourning and Hardaway although Hardaway scored only seven where's the third score going to come from and that could be the problem the Thomas started out strong with five and the Austin may show some promise but he doesn't have that third score well danilevich and Marley are two guys who are averaging 14 points from right now but we're talking about the long haul the night in and night out consistency and in that playoff time who is going to be that third guy they need a guy who can come to this team that can get you 20 to 35 now that's what we mean about great acquisition well because they're developing a lot of players here right now thick they really are you have to like their ballclub but their shortcoming we could see and in the main thing also is their post play guys the young people stopped trying just do the meat and potatoes so we start the second half with the heart away and development shift our village the village explained with three Kurt Thomas up front with Marley and Alonzo Moore the Bulls with the Jordan Rodman kippot Harper and longer they the same spot who started to being the both nine teams in there now Hardaway this is the three rebound Jordan part away scored only seven points got a rush things a little bit in the first half but he was a great settling influence after his acquisition for Golden State last year he plays very well down Georgia near the jumper [Applause] mouth full you could hear the echo car Thomas with his second personal foul Jordan Thoreau Brotman is sporting a red and black hairdo colors of the team now keep an eye down inside now to the left of the screen you got to see it right here I think Brodmann came over the back of Thomas and Thomas also ada game and hitting the floor Longley with a hook stop by the way working against piston beat him off the dribble deep morning [Applause] but the basket that time I worked it well the warning came up empty so it's still 5753 in favor of the bulge in the opening moments of the secondary Jordan hits nothing's changed for him and Michael George now with 28 points and the Miami Heat quickly call a 20-second timeout yeah it's a good move by pack that's excellent strategy right now he is not happy with the way the offense is moving Hardaway is now 1 for 4 and 3 and he's just trying to calm them down right now and let's start paying a lot more attention to some key people here you know things aren't going to get easier for the Miami Heat you be they will go on a road trip including six games in the Pacific and Mountain Time Zone nine back-to-backs three against this team two against the Bulls 14 road games so to heat want to you know do something while they could play at home here for us they're the only the upside of that is is when they come back they're going to have an awful lot of home games you know everyone has to go through those biggest lead of the game for the Chicago Bulls right now a sixth a good example the Atlanta Hawks they start out struggling they go into they gotta go to court and another probably get hammered out there they handled a crucified Seattle at Seattle by 25 gone by here in stability listen a jumper the long rebound these are the hands of Scottie Pippen six point lead for the Chicago Bulls Hardaway quickly picks up our first touch pass long leader Ogden but Thomas is with it and doesn't make the Comets these looks like he's gonna be a good one six nine at at ECU wide open capris and those are the to me [Applause] attempts 23 threes at night so anytime you take that amount of threes you must come in with 7 to 9 minutes the barley himself only 2 for 7 from the field so he is

right now you're going to see Miami is missed the number of easy shots right now they're coming up on the break and it'll cup to the right of your screen now watch as Harper makes this catch it was very close but you can see right there he catches the three-point line so when he makes this shot it's only a 2 the Chicago Bulls have scored 15 consecutive points carrying over from the final minute of the second quarter and to make things worse for the heat they are old for seventh era the refrigerator shooting-wise here in the quarter so it's 64 53 Marley this is the food any time that this

livin it up by 15 in the third [Applause] [Music] Marley guarding longley hides most know where to go with it he's doing a good job of running in three pants and Harper has to rush a shot at the buses but there is Harper getting the ball at they're just quicker right now you can see that they've left their wake-up blood oh I didn't know he had did he send that down strong do you know he had that in himself I have to admit that was really quick Okwe misses a three let's see Thomas and [Applause] see wrongly again that's going to be a picture-book play for the Australians watch him spin to the baseline now you see he feels the defendant out coming up underneath don't wake it up morning like that shots always come up underneath the basket knocked the defender off with the rim without play for the Australian Olympic team because of the surgery on the bones first but Shane they know the deal with this year sachit vanilla beans yes he did get my work Nunchuk vanilla vids right now I'd say two right now how many shots of you blocked the judges tonight okay really I did ask him a good question you know I'm trying to be in your face she keeps going for the shot clock he is not one of the shots and he has fouled them three times why is he not a jump shooter you told me that for you one of these days I'll learn yeah 34 points for Mike joy and it's 72-56 he's are threatening to turn this game into allow her Thomas Willis Vinny bullied with seven points in 7258 hearing the halfway mark at this third water tank right now take his time get back some place of details pimp it misses a three this is another color and Thomas have now had three collisions in this game two in the last two minutes yeah somebody's got to be careful I keep an eye on this ricin see right there Thomas grab somebody's shirt Rodman steps in front of them now who needs an unnecessary injury and pretty soon one of these two guys gonna get hurt cuz that's the third time they have tumbled and fallen into the hardwood vanilla goes out with four fouls at number twenty-one voshon lenard in his second year of Minnesota replaces them makes a great pass as Harper fouls morning going to the basket in the Rodman has to calm down so that's to calm down zero here well that was a beautiful screen and roll and a nice pass by Leonard Leonard by the way is in for his shooting purposes and we're taking a look now at the GMC scoreboard Detroit with a good come-from-behind win over Philadelphia winning again Washington over San Antonio to the delight of Marty Erina and Milwaukee in front as well as morning this is the first point warning receiving is now 3 for 6 on the line morning with 19 points looking for his 20th find all round you gotta have support for a player like Alonzo Bodden we've got 20 now and it's 72 to 59 Jordan with 34 points out there with Barbara Wally Rahman and Scottie Pippen turn around by joy he is a guy from the corner and the band from the top leaving by gelato into the basket is filed so 36 now for Michael Jordan and Tim Hardaway to the line we could watch number 23 in his exploits over you can see they're clearing out they just cut everyone through and that allows Michael to just take his man now in the first step he's spun three times to the baseline and beat Danella to the basket that time and that's always there for him the fadeaway now there's the six six Jordan working against part away at six foot even with denilla on the bench and the Harper Jordan would have posted up against a Toni Kukoc back into the game for Chicago Kukoc scored seven in the first half including one from downtown as Longley goes out right now Dennis Rodman will play morning because he moves to the center position Tim Hardaway came over in a trade last February from Golden State scored 30 by the way against these Bulls and gained one of the playoffs and averaged a eight assists he makes the free throw the 13 right now with Miami led by 11 at the corner the Bulls by four at the head Thunder Over Hardaway and it dropped for Michael Jordan he's having a well that's the danger when you say that you're gonna put a 6-foot point guard on with Sean Leonard and morning's fights for the offensive rebound with a good job Harper releasing that port sniffing finds Harper Michael Jordan as having maybe the most relaxed game he's had quite a while what's the u.s. time Tipton was upset he Pippin wanted a good pass because once again Hardaway was playing a post-up player and Scotty has said something to cook that he said left the money he fronted me the other here do is give me a decent lot and this team will talk to the other teammates coming up flora if they don't like something that's why they're champions they don't rate to a different budget Alonzo Mourning 22 points he's like a one-man Jenga vow therefore anytime that you're a bull and you're out here right now and you have major admissions they wanted the mismatches and it tries to take advantage of your double team misses the jumper warden guarding Hardaway wide-open voshon lenard say long fairness to the heat a lot of their shots have written Porter the point for that or like new rules now rules it Kukoc trying to split the difference agreed [Applause] he has more three-point baskets that anyone for the Chicago Bulls we what went up with 79 63 lead Thomas was a turnaround that's the basket Kirk Thomas

talking about the Bulls that their starters are 32 years of age but at least they're working on it and trying to do something to get the guys ready for playoff time going back to Robert Powers they've only been 10 guys in the history of this lake that of avrech that have scored 20,000 points and 10 rebounds Robert Parish Michael Jordan is out and he's sitting next to Robert Parish maybe he'll pick up some wisdom mr. pitch was working against Marlene good defense by morning got a piece of that one the four blocks for Alonzo Mourning good Pete choose the shot lighter tucked in but Sean Leonard

Detroit Pistons the Pistons have been red-hot that in Game two all the way from Japan where Hubie will commute to after this one the New Jersey Nets take on the Orlando Magic in Tuesday night the NBA on TNT continues when Shaq and the Lakers face Hakeem Olajuwon Charles Barkley and the Houston Rockets Dan Majerle and that's what you're talking about getting there Marleen going to become more assertive or to drip the outside shot is not there right now he just can't disappear you've got to take the dwarf to do bent point lead down for the Chicago Bulls with under a minute to go and Foucault Pittman can't save it so the Bulls have turned it over on two successive time down the court and Chicago will call timeout and pill Jackson is upset and will come out to the middle of the court and he should be sandy Pittman has been fronted twice in the post he's wide open they cleared out two backs off and both times Cusco just thrown the past too long out of bounds 20-second timeout then pill doesn't seem that upset but he's got a deep voice [Laughter] well you're back to ten you have 47 seconds let's go you just got it fake sure right now then you get a good percentage shot you keep the tenth hopefully and get it to eight you're at home and then maybe you can step it up and get something going here in this last water Pat Riley's Heat we're up by 15 points in the second quarter tonight off the wings of an 11 point first quarter lead and then the Bulls went wild including a brilliant six point tee shot from downtown effort in the last 12 seconds since Michael Jordan has gone to the bench the heat about score the Bulls six to two as you look at the shooting percentage since the first quarter Miami way down and the Bulls are way up six seconds on the shot clock for the Bulls with 47 point for the third [Music] deflected by morning he picks it off two three turnovers in a row by the goals they want to get something out of this quick so that you would get another possession we do not understanding the two-for-one sale here two turnovers they kept possession the last pot they're not protecting the vault area eight on the shot clock Morton's Basin against lovely with the jumper he's diving with 24 points whose dick by taking that long and interior design in seconds now the Bulls can run out the clock a good opportunity to go right but it's 81-73 and the Heat have come to it at eight points after being down by 16 Cuoco attending called against morning ready [Music] I say something about gold the shot the shot has got to have an opportunity of going in so right there you can see that ball was going to not hit the backboard perfectly for that that's like pass interference in the NFL if a ball is not going to be caught in know what you know what if Emily leaguer what what does that sit on this board is that rugby pass cannot be caught they don't call pass interference that's similar to what your table solo it's a judgment call Michael Jordan has scored 38 points in 28 minutes and after three here at the Miami arena the Bulls seventy-three [Music] good [Music] perhaps even more impressive and pure unbridled power is the ability to harness it

Lakers lose their first of the year 88-78 sent it back to Miami now with dick and Jimmy thank you very much events and welcome back we start the fourth quarter with the Bulls leading the heat 83-73 in the fun Phil Jackson's concerned michael jordan sat out the last three minutes of the quarter but he's in there now normally he sits out the beginning of the tortoise but he's in there now to start with go Steve Kerr Toni Kukoc Dennis Rodman and Bill weddington making his first appearance of the game all right now he wants to keep one of his quality guys out there is glory to Pippen or joy he decided to Jordan Weddington misses the jumper Gary grant to opens with the voshon lenard PJ Brown Dan Majerle and Alonzo Mourning come on you got to get the ball into mourning see Alonzo Israeli up said he had Wennington pin right in the lane 10 on the shot clock China denied too far out his morning driving against winning Tyndall ZUP and draws the foul that was his only play right now let's check in with dick force ace he's exhorted his team not to sit not to feel that the game is over with he's saying hey we just need a few stops you be you can explain what a stop is but he says we can get right back in this back to you guys well I would think down by 10 going into the final quarter you're not out of the game of course 9 and here you're at home what you need is a little spurt you want your second Muniz right now to do it for you still counteracted that by saying hey I'm going to put my second unit in there but I'm leaving Rodman before the rebounding to play their Center position but then I'm leaving Michael in there to solidify the offense by the way Michael Jordan committed his first personal foul morning hits both free throws he's got 26 in the game and his 83 is 75 eight points I remember the Bulls led by 16 in the first quarter so the heat of staged a rally here quor'toth hands it over to Jordan started by the shot letters fires up clean [Applause] hands up Gary Brannen pushing it up [Music] and here comes a two on one break and lovin is filed by PJ Brian Petrelli he was fired they get the lucky baller once the that was a solid ball because Dennis Rodman is a 56% faster you say you know you're not going to let him get a layup now right here that's a bad pass they just could have taken their time and posted morning now you're gonna see right here this is a good test by Michael and there was the extra step questionable I would say yes Facebook's leaves there is more me working against wedding with a ball away no father sees can't follow you have to take winning 10 to the hole to try to block the shot Rob 2:14 off the glass now opening minute half of this fourth quarter and Jordan is fouled by the shot Leonard I like Leonard's defense on Michael off the dribble here now to possession and that time he got caught with the a hand check but he has he's really moved his feet quick feet see in this situation you have such an advantage there's no way that Wennington can play you off the dribble going strong in the lane never throw to fadeaway jump shot why because you cannot get to the offensive glass if you take it in and choose to beat you up you can beat him with your foot misses you miss again on instant support Bluecoats met time Marley 14 on the shot clock George rich people puck grew up in the corral a loose ball foul [Applause] Thomas I believe that will be more on Curt tux Denis worked himself down inside that time and Thomas realized that he was behind he gave Denis a push Rosman will inbound both big boats looking low Leonard very nearly stole the ball from Michael Georgia right he's doing a great blanket job out Jordan even though he gets the basket and Leonard has stayed with it as well Michael Jordan jump [Applause] the toy 40 points now for Mike McCoy here is Kurt Thomas bottled up ramp fires it up and his pal that's a two-point basket attempt let's see Michael Jordan and his antics as he scored his 40th now Michael it was what look at the trap there's the trap the hairy comes down and he's saying you know what I'm going up anyway and I'm going to shoot that around that backboard and let's take a look at the McDonald's game reset Michael Jordan 40 points in the 30 minutes the Bulls with a big 18 to nothing wrong between the second and third quarters and mourning has been magnificent for the Miami Heat tonight here is Gary gran hitting the first free throw missing the second and it's an 85 76 lead for the Bulls with by 23 to go in the fourth and Barry play my grant yeah you know if Phil Jackson is up right now and he has a right to complain because the defender definitely did get a piece of that ball knocking the ball into the back side so PJ Brown will inbound it's brown Gary grant Kurt Thomas Dan Majerle and voshon lenard turn it over five times last for the hand finish as a whole life Bobby this [Applause] the trio's example Jordan shooting all the letters Supremes knocked out of bounds last touched by the Blues Chicago goal and I hate to say this because they'll say that no it sounds ridiculous the Sean Leonard is doing a good job on Michael I mean he's moving his feet horsing Michael to jump up over the top of them and Michael is trying to make some difficult shots ooh Kurt Thomas short with Enya Tara well this is the problem with my on Alonzo Mourning is out never established coastal plain and the Chicago Bulls do not have to double-team anyone and when you don't have to double-team is stay and hug the three-point shooters especially when you're that athletic got so much versatility people like Pippen who's coming back in the game Tim Hardaway replaced Gary Graham wedington goes out and Scottie Pippen and Ron Harper vacuum Leonard with the ball firing up a three in a wild one Robin the rebound the heat just firing away quietly right now little bit of offensive firepower when you eliminate warning Miami is for 420 from downtown the may have converted some of those they might even be in front of this point outside of vanilla which everyone else is struggling from three-point range then when you miss the three-point shot they have a tendency to sulk and when they are sulking going back what is happening Chicago is pushing the ball and they are finding free guys in the painted area that did not happen in the first quarter Kurt Thomas you saw picked up his fifth foul Gunilla vich has four fouls we haven't seen him and now he's coming back in and the Leonard is going to go out of the game yeah interesting them Pat Riley told us about how the shot Leonard really is an offensive threat comes off the bench but the fact is and you just pointed it out that Leonard was a really good defensive player yes he did he did a very one of the most frightening things in this book is the program for us and mainly because he can so quickly whether it's in the points up there facing the best in a jump up David adopt yet to coax with eleven after the free throws and an 11-point lead for the Chicago Bulls finally hits a - Tim Hardaway like Dan Majerle have a nice Bowl from the field tonight 8:05 to go its 87 78 nine-point lead for Chicago fighter those two guys [Music] that's three threes they could only make a few of them Jordan is four on the shot spot against developments double-team and throws up the air ball rocketed dances but look at the way Hoffman went after absolutely I'd say Dennis is working tonight dennis has done a terrific job you see it's easy to give take advantage of Dennis maybe for a quarter or a half unfortunately for you that he was working in the entire time he's out cold but that for 48 minutes he's played a small forward tonight power forward and he's played the Senate position final piece of the puzzle to a championship here with Devon Robert last year he has 17 rebounds tonight [Applause] his second foul and the heat down plenty of time to come back let me just I said watch this is a great block look at that that was just dancing all right bye and that is this a great block yes that's privatizing with the editing part away this morning yeah [Applause] came to play tonight and he's played big not only shooting-wise his board play has been outstanding at halftime he had six offensive rebounds and here is this this is just a great play in traffic he just rips it away from Thomas takes it up gets hit by two guys and puts it down 28 points for Alonzo Mourning Kukoc with his third foul and mourning can cut the Bulls lead to six with 724 remaining the numbers on Alonzo Mourning are phenomenal tonight [Applause] which you are watching our two sir right now because that's what you read that it's a good point it's a very good pilot unfortunately the guy is not here he's he's happy tonight because the San Antonio by 10 its own morning with his third personal foul and adelson scottie pippen to the free-throw line Pippen [Applause] the limit and Pippin hits the free-throw please keep an eye on us he just rips this ball away from Thomas sends it up in traffic did we talk about you on Howard yet mission-1 attitude out of bounds last touched by of the bowl daddy this year in three games shooting 56% but he it's the only weak spot spot in studies day he's a sixty seven six [Music] reflow was his first point of the second pan he has fifties of the game goes 88-81 seven-point lead Hardaway behind morning it's a two-parter [Applause] double figures for the heat warning the elements and Hardaway heats were 13 and the lead is down to five missus we're out to Michael warning comes into the way and they give us his Hickman who fires at three and Vijay Brown five back to the game [Applause] here is German the city opened war against developments in Harlow and he misses inside double-team by Miami far away a little bit of trouble offensive foul that will be for PJ Brown is fifth personal right now all the fringe players are expensable main thing right now is you had a big advantage that time you had to convert in traffic ah gotta get me out of it this is not a nice place making my bad habits mom they're making me do bad things even trying to change the way I'm not I can't I said you got the wrong number chump Oh grantee meet George your new personal trainer nice to meet you nice nice nice [Music] over the past 13 years no other import manufacturer has sold as many sport utility vehicles as American Isuzu Motors but hey why stop at 13 right now you can lease a 96 trooper or Rodeo for some of the lowest prices of the year during the Isuzu big-deal clearance event the rugged dependable go anywhere is Susan believe not gonna make a difference wasn't the problem I just didn't know how I know I couldn't do everything but I could do one thing at a time and I realized I wasn't the only one out there [Music] I've learned so much from so many different people it's been great get it involved team up with your community Oscar cable or satellite provider about CNM si the sports news network well uh jibby Miami is making this a close game down by only five but it should be pointed out that Michael Jordan is only 1 for 5 and 2 points here in this quarter and you know sooner or later he's going to explode well you know they're running two guys at him and they're trapping him and it's interesting because Michael is shot a couple of very difficult percentage shots here lately and I also looking at Miami at the other end of the floor they're getting good opportunities but they're trying to make the overplay the sensational play just make the easy pass right now because you will get good shots Michael is struggling so the key don't go at him and go at high percentage basketball and with 40 points he is struggling but actually he is lately and 1 for 5 and the heat doing good job defensively against him Luc Longley and Steve Kerr both had checked into the game for the Bulls and they join Jordan Rodman and Pippen see the underlying fact of Michael's night [Applause] Vijay Brown Kurt Thomas Alonzo Mourning's Occidental Levitch and Tim Hardaway are in there for the Miami Heat under six minutes to go here in the fourth quarter not a good one going here Jordan box to go 4/6 Michael gets cooking watch out he's got 42 that time there was no double team everything was late no one guys gonna stop and this may jump over offensive foul against the heat and if it sat on vanilla that will be his sixth but 30 it is on morning so warning now with pork so here's a foul story Mornington as for denilla vich has four rounds five and thomas five so that's the foul story as per Thomas been replaced by Dan Majerle right now the one thing you cannot do if you're Miami is allow Steve sure to get off the nut about complete Hardaway trying to prevent that here's Wally back support [Music] [Applause] in the Malayan hips fit basket by sneaker tip that ball alive and alley design now for the Bulls they heated down to down to five but it's a nine-point game as we wind down the five minutes remaining in the fourth quarter remember the Heat had a 11-point lead after one [Applause] was Jordan [Applause] vanilla and Robin with his fourth personal foul [Applause] now this is a beautiful back door move you see the elements moving see is the pass he gives a good pump fake Rodman comes down strong Jordan avoided the contact but Rodman did not denilla hits the free-throw Sasha vanilla was Hubie mentioned this 62 games with this surge arrester yes he did 62 he was the starting to guard at the beginning of the season Rex Chapman came to the farm and had a boundary season Rex this year playing at Phoenix as a free agent to play pro is forged in elevates 92 to 85 and paper the bowl George pulls back against denilla three-on-two that doesn't last for long as part of it brings the ball up he is fouled by his feet her on the books both decent shooting there is Lee now to the end right Hardaway goes to the free-throw line you make these you're right in business let me down 70 make these two you're down five anything can happen here right Hardaway is 2 for 2 from the free-throw line here 25 against the Indiana Pacers last game tonight Hardaway past 14 well in the first few games Alonzo Mourning averaging 26 and Hardaway averaging 92 unfortunately who is everything 14 is struggled and fell apart away and they but it's a five-point they're right here for 40 remaining both teams in the penalty that swept the heat lead to nothing in the first round the play only the Michael Jordan and you see the value of Longley he doesn't have to be a big power center in this optical a to see that that's their guard around but instead what they did was they they brought their post up player Michael Jordan on the back door that was beautiful for the role low supporting working against Longley nothing there DJ Brown hits the jumper after it bounced on the win six for the former New Jersey net it's a five-point lead with four minutes remaining in the fourth quarter they're starting out of high and then with the clutch they get right into the triangle nest here the bowl started off with five straight wins before they suffered their first loss 72 wins for the years parisa Sabri [Applause] again he misses another tree trying to take this one the boys get back defensively so it will be no easy basket this time under three and a half to play in the fourth Hardaway leaves two trees and he continues to have a miserable night from the field from downtown but damn Fargo turns around and hits a jumper and that's a big sequence at both ends yeah excellent timeout by Pat Riley but barley struggles Pippen hits the jumper it's 96 89 bowls we'll be right back [Music] touchstone pictures presents I'm offering this money is a reward on your head the most exciting thriller of the year and I'm gonna dedicate my life to tracking you down heart pounding nail-biter hang on to the edge of your seat don't get ready for the ride of remote some a Ron Howard film radar starts Friday November 8th [Music] [Music] pick up a new rodeo for the lowest price of the year during the Isuzu big-deal clearance event going on now oh yeah mutts sold separately [Music] [Applause] [Music] sad isn't it finding out you paid too much for your stereo Circuit City you can't find a lower price we guarantee it we'd like to show you the triangle offense and then a new wrinkle which Chicago has put in now once this goes to Rodman right now they are like this and then here is their post player you're going to see luc longley come up and usually they will run this guard around but watch what happens as lonely catches it they run Michael Jordan right from that post and it's a pass right down that was a beautiful play and and and wonderfully executed because of the ability of Longley to make the pass let's take a look at the timeout picture right now the Bulls have four and they heat to full timeouts no 20s and the Bulls will lose one under the two-minute mark so it'll be Miami's ball trailing 96 89 it'll be Hardaway inbounding danilevich and Hardaway at guard up front morning DJ Brown and Dan Majerle Parker Jordan Pippen Rob boys Chicago's back screen some warnings catching them on the wrong three minutes to go in the fourth quarter here's warning good position he's found Pippen with the foul Scottie with his third and both teams in the penalty and warning warning in order to get the double-team because they're not gonna double-team anyone else down inside I like what we saw there a nice back screen on morning to bring him to the wall and it forced the Bulls and swim June and that's why that opened up Alonzo Mourning 7 for 10 from the free-throw line 30 points for zone with 18 rebounds and four blocked shots he has played big tonight question is will it be enough to put the Miami Heat over the top they were up by 16 at one point and then the Bulls were up by 16 or 15 keep staging the links Brent one out of two so morning has this floor from the free-throw line bad Miami does have an Achilles heel erroneous 70 71 percent to 13 96 to 98 favor of Chicago here in North

minutes to go 102 91 and i40 the game is they were the Chicago Bulls they gonna test tonight mix all mistake about fit with the steal great defensive play we go back to the top there they are what they are because of their defensive hip and lean 191 Harper open for three he'll take it Robyn has 20 rebound Hardaway off the glass and Kukoc will have it and he'll take his time with 118 and Robin got hit in the face having trouble see he says let's continue to play 8 on the shot clock tiffen with a long tree there's Robin can't see now with his twenty second rebound not bad for a guy who [Music] well you could see he was definitely spying there's no doubt what he was running you can see he was staggered right here he gets hit by his own man but he was hit at the other end of the floor first with mourning in a collision it's popped right here by his own man and then saved by this guy but how about the fact he's jogging along the shot goes up all of a sudden he Sprint's through the park against the two guys right and then gets loud you know could be a decoy because he's having trouble getting his vision I knew something was wrong it was the people that's part of his game mrs. gray trousers part of his game here he is now that just watch Pippen launches a long shot as the clock is going down and then he just says but he just pushes Hardaway right out of that raagh there's only two points this is both free throw for the that 13 off the defensive plan that's what they pay in full by the way basket is good and the Hardaway is fine it is a seven point game would be six with forty nine point six turn it off you've been around this Lake a six point lead with 12 seconds today you're not safe oh well well well what do we just have right before the half before they half with six seconds on the clock they make the thing green of the offense in bounds you make another three bowls 6-0 so it can happen Toni Kukoc with his the fourth personal foul and here is Tim Hardaway who has been perfect 4 for 4 from the line tonight now you just let's make it happen makes both free shows six point game that's two threes so this is the biggest possession now this goes down [Applause] really has it with 38.5 to Miami he has two possessions down by six and Rob when app briefly will be coming in and a timeout has been called by the Miami Heat so the heat putting the heat

place with the helpful hardware folks let's bounce back in NBA history to March 28th 1995 Pat Riley's New York Knicks host the Chicago Bulls at Michael Jordan fresh back from his retirement Michael rocked the garden for 55 points as the Bulls stopped the mix 113 to 111 and the fabulous Jordan has 5048 right now now QB after the timeout by Miami they have one left they're down by six two philosophies you go for the quick score you get the ball and try to score within four or five seconds even if it's a 2 you do not need a three here you shoot and miss a three and then foul all of a sudden you're down seven or eight the big thing is the score quickly and get the possession that's right they go there today 32 seconds plenty of time what [Applause] so the bullies at beat the heat down court good ice this game it's 102 to 96 and Harper will go to the line as soon as you score you go to the full court press the main rule is one goes long you cannot get beat long you never front people because when you front people they just release and it's exactly what happened there they fronted Harper and he took long militants misses the free-throw warning has it so it's a six-point lead on the Miami Heat Hughes their last timeout 102 to 96 and they still have a chance to get three or two and the possession again you know just keep an eye on as they're Theo's Harper is just running right down the floor didn't elevates nowhere near him they go for the foul now right now once again keep-keep strategy get the quick score put on the press and let's see what happens TBS destination Sunday every Sunday night at 7:00 Eastern only on TBS freshness nighttime what's the problem man my party is lame I think I got some skunky beer sir relax when was your beer boy boy doesn't have a born-on date i watch do you have any Budweiser okay remain calm sir we're on our way newborn on dating from Budweiser because fresh beer tastes better [Music] over the past 13 years no other import manufacturer has sold as many sport utility vehicles as American Isuzu Motors but hey why stop at 13 right now you can lease a ninety six trooper or rodeo for some of the lowest prices of the year during the Isuzu big deal clearance event the rugged dependable go anywhere Isuzu when developing the psychokinetic watch we applied for 50 patents [Music] how could we fit them all inside we took out the battery psychokinetic the amazing quartz watch that never needs a battery the Bulls leave the heat 102 to 96 with 29.2 as Miami uses its last timeout I want to remind you coming up the postgame show the NBA on TBS continues so with the score 102 96 six-point deficit it isn't an automatic three-point attempt to this Sullivan soldier you're right there if the three-point is wide open you take it if not you get the quick score again you put on your full-court press you force them to call a timeout or foul one of the poor foul shooters clock management right can't believe so many fans have left here this video brought out in a while after Scotch barley and fires up a to with hits two-point basket by damn ball 102 298 and Jordan is fouled by Tim Hardaway and of course ideally you don't want to foul a good free-throw shooter but you may not have the choice that's right you're absolutely right so yeah Marley's been ice cold but this was a big one for Pat Riley you can see right here it's a fumble as he steps in he definitely stepped on the line it was a two-point shot the Bulls very intelligently took the ball out of bounds and yet who was 11 of 12 from the free-throw line [Music] was there any down 49 points the Michael Jordan is going 450 right here he has enjoyed himself tonight after the whole wind as we pointed out again silver last time getting in late off to a slow start therefore in the second quarter Michael Jordan with 50 points tonight out of bounds and they may have to go to the police pounds and it's vanilla bits missing a three block and voshon lenard who's just checked in gets a basket seven point three seconds to go is one for 100 in the mile steep curve and denilla bits with the personal foul and he's gone so Sasha danilevich becomes the second member of the Miami G to foul out PJ Brown was the first he goes out having scored 15 now Phil Jackson also made a very nice move here right now you put in a good foul shooters he has her in the game Steve Carr last year shot 50% from the field 50% in threes and 90% on the foul line I would say he had a fairly decent year I would say that that's why Steve Kerr I such a valuable guy and what it is to speak her to be part of the Chicago team with an element that they need but in a wrong place was interesting couldn't find a place all of the show he's the perfect guy he replaced BJ Armstrong run into the corners looking for the threes and he's a hard worker and he has really perfected his grade six point seven seconds remain it's 105 to 100 the Bulls will win their fourth in a row and it's 106 200 [Applause] George very deal bhishan who fires it up off the glass rebound what Lee and that's all she wrote the Chicago Bulls have outlasted the Miami Heat to win by a score of 106 to 112 player of the game is Michael Jordan who scored 50 points the Bulls have won again and goal on the season the Miami Heat losing for the first time this year dropped their record to 2 and 1 and right now let's go over to dick forsakes I'm here with Scottie Pippen Scottie another Yeomans all-around performance by you Michael tossed in a measly 5000 out late like you did last year now we did you know we came in here tonight you know realizing that this is gonna be a porting game for that ballclub to try to test their self and see where they ass at this corner of the season it was a great challenge for us because I think the competition there with it we've been facing thus for having been in soft so it's a great game tonight it seems that you got a new rivalry here this team really wants a piece of you well they do I mean we're the monsters of these right now so I mean they're gonna have to get over off to feel like they've gotten to the next level and it was a great performance on their part but they still got a lot of work ahead of them all right Scottie thanks a lot all right back to you dick and you me all right let me figure this out 72 minus 4 for 72 wins did you break the record only kidding now he's gonna game our game it was I mean they play well you know we came in you know just like the other two games we took it to take a quarter or half be used to a team and once we figure out you know the niches I think we can apply a defense and you know more or less take their best punches and come back at him Michael you're on fire you look quick tonight the elevation was there but as soon as Hardaway went to guard you during that pair you guys posted him up five straight times yeah I got the height advantage I knew he was looking to guard me as a challenge today and I just kind of took my time and when I had him in the post I just used my moves and uses anticipation to my advantage and you know we went right at him now coming over here I saw you you're holding your thumb here did you get hurt yeah I got hit on the thumb I got the game's keeper thumb which is this fruit and every now and then it just comes back to bother me doing the course of the season but it's nothing really Michael you seem to enjoy yourself tonight I mean you had a smile on your face you had a couple of words for Pat Riley what'd you tell Pat by the way when you hit that jumper falling off the court he called me a little rat for making that jumper I mean you know he's such a competitor and you know I'm just the competitors here so when we have a chance to be his team's I mean that's a big challenge one said this year this team can still get better where can the Bulls get better I think consistently I think we haven't played a perfect season I guess then I guess that's that's the motivation that we have at this stage Jax drives us to be better as a team I don't think we should get complacent with what we did last year I think everyone's looking at us to get tired out and maybe so maybe an injury here and there and we old whatever but just the challenge is to prove everybody wrong Michael between you and your personal trainer you drop in five to eight pounds can you explain a little bit about that last year I played it to 17 to 18 and I had a lot of knee problems tendinitis and this year I tried to get down to 209 maintain the same strength but yet take some of that pressure off my knee and I've had any problems with it and as you can see my quickness back of all I got to lift in my legs that I hadn't really been having in last 15 months off I feel good I just got hopefully we can maintain the same program isn't it great how you can come back after winning a fourth title we see what happens with Dallas and other sports and still get focused when the time comes to get focused at times I think that has a lot to do with it you know you have to tell any of your careers to a certain extent and you better enjoy these last few moments of stardom of success and whatever and I think that drives me more so than anything I'm trying to get Frank Hamlin at a ring I feel dedicated to get help get in my rings Michael thanks for coming over to us I know it is a great to happen with us Michael Jordan he's worth the price of admission and those two three-point baskets were worth the price of admission for the Miami team so a big doubleheader will come your way this Friday with the NBA on TNT Game one the Chicago Bulls take on the Detroit Pistons at ATS to the nets in magic in Japan Hubie Brown will be there inside the NBA
