The Bulls lost this game, 87-80, but who cares?

Even in a loss, Michael Jordan shows what made him the greatest player we’ve ever seen.

After a horrendous – almost embarrassing – three quarters of basketball, MJ exploded in the fourth to bring his Bulls back.

Jordan hit just 9 of 35 shots, but most of them came during an important stretch in the fourth, that almost led the Bulls to an unbelievable comeback in game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

Even in a game where he could not hit anything for three quarters, Jordan finished with a game-high 29 points.

This game is also well-known for two reasons:
1) Alonzo Mourning guaranteed at Heat victory – which he delivered on.
2) Mourning’s huge elbow game Scottie Pippen a nasty bump on his head.

Ugly game all around, but Jordan was beautiful to watch late in the game – as he always is.
