Behind a solid performance from their leader and the greatest player to ever lace up basketball shoes, the Chicago Bulls won their fifth championship in seven years, beating Utah 90-86 in game six of the 1997 Finals. Michael Jordan scored 39 points and pulled down 11 rebounds - but it was the last of his four assists that made all the difference. MJ knew Stockton would leave Steve Kerr to double on him, so after drawing the double, Jordan swung the ball to wide open Kerr to calmly sank the game-winning jumper. Kerr finished with nine points and played a big role in leading a Bulls charge late in the game. Scottie Pippen scored 23 points. Karl Malone scored 21 to lead Utah and Jeff Hornacek put in 18.
