Good afternoon, eveyone,
and welcome once again ...
:12:04
to Bulls basketball...
playoff basketball...
:12:06
as we move to the
Eastern Conference Finals...
:12:08
the Bulls
and the Indiana Pacers.
:12:09
These two teams were two and two
in the regular season.
:12:12
But the rival really begins on
a Sunday afternoon in Chicago...
:12:17
Miller and Jordan
and a cast of characters...
:12:19
that is not afraid to win.
:12:22
There's Michael, slips and falls
down, gets back up into the lane,
:12:26
hops through, falls,
fires on the rim and it's good!
:12:29
The Indiana Pacers...
:12:31
with their outside shooting
and the physical play...
:12:34
were a team custom-built
to defeat Michael and the Bulls.
:12:46
In the first two games
of the series...
:12:49
even though the Bulls
would win both games...
:12:51
it was clear
that the Pacers would pose...
:12:54
their first real test.
:13:11
Rose backs in. Now, Rose,
stripped by Michael.
:13:16
To Harper.
:13:17
Harper on the run.
:13:19
Lead pass, Toni...
Kukoc to Michael.
:13:21
He dunks the ball!
:13:23
Oh, my!
:13:29
for the next two games,
the scene shifed to Indiana.
:13:32
On their home court, the Pacers
would win game three...
:13:35
behind their tireless guard,
Reggie Miller.
:13:39
Lead pass ahead for Mark Jackson.
:13:41
This is what Indiana wants.
:13:42
They run to Miller
for three...got it!
:13:44
In game four, the Bulls led
by a point in the final seconds,
:13:48
when Miller and Jordan
would square off again.
:13:51
Here we go...
McKey holding, looking.
:13:54
Here comes Miller
to the top.
:13:55
Miller, a catch.
:13:57
Miller, a look...
he hit it!
:13:59
Reggie Miller...
knocked it down.
