fires down and last touch finance for platelets to the deflection off pants timeout taken three minutes in second floor well fall for the five-point lead Michael Jordan on the quiet side three four seven to this point Kraig yellows done a nice job against Michael we asked break over the years what adjustments has he made in defending against Jordan at first I was just so anxious to try to stop him which is impossible actually I would get right up on him and he would just drive right around me and then I tried to back off of him you know through the coaching staff saying this this may help you and make him shoot jumpers and you know he started hitting jumpers on me so that didn't work either so I try to try a little bit in between when he doesn't have the ball try to stay real close with him so he doesn't just get away from me and then when he does have the ball I try to stay arm's length were you know I can try to move with him which sometimes works sometimes doesn't well pressures given us every that conceivable possibility the beginning of his book that is you need help you cannot play she's got to get a little bit or a lot of help for your friends Scott Williams has

let's go over to a mom all right Marv Gary Briggs is now applying some electrical stimulation right through that injured joint of Brad Daugherty's right hand they're trying to just to keep the blood moving in the air trying to alleviate some of that pain Huff and Brad already very effective in his spin on the floor hit four of seven eight points along with five rebounds Sanders called for the

on the offensive boards we talked about the great spacing that Cleveland has in its offense on the other hand it could be a problem because they're spaced out so well they don't get that opportunity to come up with second or third shots and then again is such a good shooting team hosts at a time you don't have that many misses to come up with and the Cavaliers to the line for the first time dances an 82% free-throw shooter [Applause] rice pudding ship pressure [Applause] six minutes to go [Applause] [Music] go to the post up right away too they're trying to get yes he was given the shine

the game went to the hospital after the game that had an x-ray and said that he felt pretty good today but obviously that could have some effect in the way she what you have two players who have injuries and it's affecting their shooting the risk to Michael Jordan Mark Price with the bad egg please he's to do a to 4/9 at this point in the game ever again here's Jordan on the phone [Applause] you've got her on the floor and make the transition we should have four players at one the other team Cleveland back then the follow-up shots second shot attempts killing the Cavaliers [Applause] so

easy scores you come in and help out you team with the extra effort Paxson sitting down after collecting his third foul and Brad Daugherty the blind for the first time [Music] well brad daugherty opened up with 23 game 1:28 in game 2 and then the scoring totals went down in game 3 he was said to be a decoy in game for 14 points and 14 rebounds when he Wilkins started to use them in a different manner and that in to the slow start and then he hurt his figure and he finished up one for ten but he's come out strong with ten points six rebounds drugs those double-teams opens up shots for price and low and the other perimeter guys for catering [Applause] again fishing down and foul Scottie Pippen has been in a track meet right throughout the ballgame and Jordan taking on the big front line hangs on a little bit longer than normal he's on his way down at you when he shoots that thing and that's not the normal lift that Jordan gets for the look that he wants at the basket [Applause] [Music] pipin with 13 and we can only guess if he is being affected the band was the mob described a moment ago play Hilo three of 11 for six points in his first half and scottie pippen on the other hand [Applause] into the flow of the offense [Applause] Chicago leads by Wong was a three parter in the first quarter nice pass from Tiffany ball goes to Cleveland last touch five Chicago 25 seconds remaining in the half [Applause] Frank's fighting Guardi of his tough test tough catch threading the needle to Dority on the roll to the basket but when you all get Chicago you draw a crowd they have tremendous team freakish they recover quickly closing down Lane Levingston and grant that's not where Valerie wants to be with the sprained finger out by loving husband a high speed you know just a little bit higher next time we're not reaching down in the middle of them both [Applause] here's BJ I'm strong for cliff Levingston who just collected his third in the past two seasons Brad Daugherty has transformed a body of baby fat into a mass of muscle it's become a much stronger player the best passing center he's tied the game suckers before spam [Applause] final seconds [Music] [Applause] [Music] but Cleveland Cavaliers [Music] [Applause] in here six of this best of seven Eastern Conference final series cabs all tied at 45 in Game six Pippin and Grant each with 14 to lead Chicago and for once Michael Jordan is not carrying them three for 12 from the floor for a total of six points Nance with 15 Daugherty with 11 for the Cavaliers and 7 rebounds for Brad Daugherty as well and despite the dislocated finger on the shooting and he has dunked twice and seemed not to be affected by that injury sustained in Game five and they're doing it essentially without mark Price who's 2 for 10 from the floor for just four points Bob Costas at our Showtime studio in New York Quinn Buckner will join me momentarily the winner of the Bulls Cavs series of course plays in the NBA Finals beginning Wednesday night against the Portland Trail Blazers the Blazers advanced by finishing off the Jazz in Utah last night here's a look at the scene when the team arrived back in Portland around midnight Pacific time they were greeted by more than 2,000 of some of the league's most rabid fans and at least one blazer is looking for the world champs you know Cleveland is you know I look forward to playing whoever but I would like to play Chicago they've talked a lot of trash about us and you know home because I was in now Michael gets to play the dumb team and they start one way or the other on Wednesday now taking a look at the Eastern Conference series one of the reasons the Cavs had trouble in Game five against the Bulls in Chicago was the injury suffered by Senator Brad Daugherty after dislocating the middle finger on his shooting hand Daugherty hit only 1 of 10 that's not the sort of performance Cleveland fans have come to expect and in fact in the first half tonight as we said he's come back with 11 points and 7 rebounds regardless Doherty has taken his place among the league's best centers a group that includes Robinson Ewing and Elijah on when Buckman takes a look at how Daugherty got there his babyface was a distinct contrast to his level-headed nature raised in rural North Carolina this 16 year old father knew his future I don't play professional basketball this is not one of my goals I'll have to get out life you know a cope with life and do the job just like everybody else and I feel I have a good academic background it'll help a whole lot the youngster got his education at North Carolina and found work in Cleveland six years ago read you better a very good career so far here in the pros you've obviously Matoo it fast you were young for college young for the pros how did that affect you how it affected me a lot you know I went to college I was just turning 16 and you know the big thing was not exactly going to college the big thing for me was getting my driver's license so I had to apply that and learn and coach Smith really nurtured me through that situation I mean he didn't baby me he brought me to the harsh reality of society that I had to I was on my own more or less but Hanna he kind of monitor he let me grow and then you know turn him 20 here I'll step into the pro game and I'm playing a very physical aggressive position and it was tough I mean I was playing against men and I was a young boy and it was just a tough task to learn one of your strengths is passing what did you use perfect out of it actually perfected that playing with my older brothers they wouldn't let me play with them because you know they shot the basketball all the time all the way they let me plays if I pass the ball to him so if I didn't pass voice smack me or something Dougherty is known to run the court all out he wears his number 43 in honor of another pretty fast mover stock-car legend Richard Petty I met Richard Petty I was a very very young man you know eight nine ten years of age and he made a last impression on me by just taking his time on a crowded day and talking with me and just you know spare you know give me a little bit of his life tell me a little bit about himself and what he likes to do and that impression stuck in the back of my mind and when I got older and was able to achieve some of the goals that I wanted to achieve is becoming a professional athlete always remembered that person and I said you know I want to be like somebody I want to be like him battling against Foreman North Carolina teammate Michael Jordan Dougherty has learned from his elder but he has a down-home trump card and he's just waiting to play Michael is just a tremendous leader by example I've never met an individual as competitive or as good to hard as Michael he's just truly a great guy and the thing about Michael though is he's scared of snakes and you know I was being a country kid I was always messing with snakes stuff like that so he knows I've got one up on if I need it and at least for a half he's got one up on him statistically to review those numbers here's what's happened through the first 24 minutes tonight very uncharacteristic for Jordan especially in the playoffs where as we said last night he's been scoring about 35% of his team's points well it said that has been the case with Michael Jordan but what he's got is some help from his teammates but in Brad Daugherty what he's starting to do one of the reasons he's become so much better is I think he's bulked up he's really strong and for whatever reason people don't pay much attention to that he gets on the Block you can't move him what I like about what he does off the court though is this is a guy who rounds up his teammates will take him to the Children's Hospital and they'll sing Christmas carols so he's a guy that really likes to give back to the community but I do like the way he plays because I like the way he gets everybody else involved in again okay up next we're going to get bud Collins in John McEnroe involved with a recap of today's action at the French Open that's right after this message from Prudential in a word the NBA [Music] the leg of tennis Grand Slam is taking place this weekend next in Paris the French Open so far things have gone very much according to form and with a recap of today's action here's the odd couple of tennis broadcasting veteran bud Collins and rookie John McEnroe the old tennis yard is quiet and the old guard is gone today Yvonne Lendl went out to Jamie onsens Jimmy Connors is gone and so are you John McEnroe but you're not out of the tournament welcome to NBC and you're still in the doubles with young Agassi Kenny carry you he's been carrying me so far it was a lot of fun today and it's gonna be a lot of fun to do the commentary for NBC well you won today with Andre Agassi and Andre Agassi won in singles along with the other three of America's forceful for Michael Chang Jim Courier Pete Sampras and Jim Courier his 19th straight win today over a very tough guy man cheney carey is playing as well as I've ever seen him play I mean mentally he's the strongest guy in the circuit right now he's gonna be really tough to stop he's my favorite at this point but what's incredible is that there's two or three other Americans with the realistic chance of winning that says you said Qiang Sampras and and Agassi and a couple years ago there was barely an American that would make it to the past the first couple around so this is a this is great for American tennis how it's changed how Americans love clay and how John McEnroe I must ask find 17 a $7,500 yeah 7,500 bucks for intemperate language the other day your reaction well I wish I wish I hadn't said it that's the

season a 74% shooter we have talked many times about the success of the balls going on him off with the pressure defense we talked about that last night with Phil Jackson he said the major reason that you don't see it against the Cavaliers is because in the great respect I have for the quickness of mark twice the Cleveland attacks the Chicago Press score they line up all of it differently Chicago

Jesus was into the bonus situation very early in the quarter it's so important for teams because small fouls like that the loose ball fouls the incidental contact maybe suppose you rewarded by going to the free-throw line and you're able to pick up some easy extra points right first time he's only a 71% free-throw shooting unusual when you consider the fact that he has such good range from outside he's an excellent three-point man [Applause] he thought he was found [Applause] [Music] take the charge accept the fact that it might be pulled up that way he's not going to give up the easy lamp second foul committed by Jordan - the line is three or four Cavaliers lead [Music] [Applause] the second quality at 45 [Applause] we buy Korea's [Applause] Michael Jordan boys corner [Applause]
