In Game 3, the Bulls made the big blowout to lead the series. In Game 4, the Bulls pulled it out and were 1 win away from the championship. But in Game 5, Michael Jordan's game-winning three-pointer came short of the championship. As they arrived to the Delta Center in Game 6, things don't look good for the Bulls. Scottie Pippen's back gave away. But in the 4th quarter, the Bulls are closing the gap. With 41.3 seconds left down by three, the Bulls need one last chance to stay alive. After Michael Jordan made a layup to decrease the Jazz lead to one, the Bulls need to stop the Jazz from scoring again. When John Stockton passes the ball to Karl Malone, Michael Jordan stole the ball away and dribbled to the front. When he faced Bryon Russell, he drove inside the 3-point line. Then, when Bryon Russell slipped, Michael Jordan made a 20-footer to give the Bulls an 87-86 lead with 5.2 seconds left. With time winding down, John Stockton's three-pointer hit nothing but rim, and the Bulls won their sixth NBA title in 8 years. Michael Jordan was named the Finals MVP.
