2009 East Conf. quarterfinals: Game 6
Noah dunks on Pierce
Chicago vs. Boston
128 – 127
April 30, 2009
United Center, Chicago, IL
It was an epic game that took Chicago three overtimes to get the win. With 40 seconds left in the third overtime, the score was tied at 123 apiece and Paul Pierce had possession. Joakim Noah stole the ball, drove to the other end and dunked over Pierce, giving Chicago the momentum they needed to win the game.
1998 NBA Finals: Game 6
Jordan’s last shot
Chicago vs. Utah
87 – 86
June 14, 1998
EnergySolutions Arena, Salt Lake City, Utah
Michael Jordan’s last shot in a Chicago uniform will go down as perhaps the most iconic shot in basketball. With 42 seconds left in Game 6 of the Finals, Utah got a three-pointer to give them a three-point lead. Jordan got a quick lay-up to put it within one, but still needed to stop Utah from scoring again. Jordan stole the ball and pulled up to hit a 20-foot jumper with 5 seconds remaining. It was enough for the win and Chicago’s 6th championship.
1993 NBA Finals: Game 6
Third championship
Chicago vs. Phoenix
99 – 98
June 20, 1993
America West Arena, Phoenix, AZ
Chicago was already a dynasty by 1993 but they still had to get through a formidable Phoenix team led by Charles Barkley in the finals. In Game 6 they had blown a double-digit lead in the 4th and were trailing by two points with 14.4 seconds left. Jordan inbounded and got the ball back. He drove up the court and passed to Scottie Pippen who passed to Horace Grant who kicked it out to John Paxson for a three-pointer to give Chicago a 1-point lead with 3.9 seconds remaining.
1989 East. Conf. Final Round: Game 5
The Shot
Chicago vs. Cleveland
101 – 100
May 7, 1989
Richfield Coliseum, Richfield Township, OH
In a sign of greatness to come, Michael Jordan won Game 5 of the 1989 Playoffs versus Cleveland with “”The Shot.”” Down by 1 point with 3 seconds on the clock, Brad Sellers inbounded to Jordan, who took 4 steps and with time expiring, launched the game-winning basket.
