1993 Bulls vs Knicks game 5 HD highlights

[@bigtime1351]

That ending sequence, if not THE best, is one of the best defensive moments in the history of the game.

[@Cuffski]

David Aldridge just said the same thing that this defensive sequence was one of the best in the history of the NBA.

[@LibraLee88]

I AGREE

[@dsfddsgh]

Bill Russell would be proud of that last defensive stand by the Bulls.

[@leviiniguez8767]

100% agree the entire 5 were not gonna let him score. He was probably fouled at least once, but it was the best defensive sequence in the games history.

[@abegoldman8749]

He was totally fouled, the refs gave the Bulls all their championships, that's what happens when you have by far the most popular player on your team

[@markmacauley6028]

Bulls mental toughness is not to be underestimated! The Knicks were an incredibly rugged team... This was real basketball...

[@habib8961]

@Mark Macauley Knicks were trying to copy the bad boy Detroit Pistons. Knicks were similar to the Pistons but without the success. The Bad boy Detroit Pistons and the Pat Riley coached NewYork Knicks are criminals walking the streets.

[@EdmondLau2007]

What a hell of a game! For us guys who are a little bit older and grew up watching the NBA in the 90's, this is what it was about. Great fundamentals, physical, intense games. The 90's was the golden era of NBA basketball and I think this game is one of the best. Great teams, great battle in a great arena. They just can't do it like this anymore.

[@eddiemambo]

Guess I'm not the only one to abandon the game. Being at this game & many more took a toll on my mind. lol

[@anthonynegron788]

No sir, I would say the golden era was from 1984-1993.

[@TheTariqibnziyad]

EdmondLau2007 now they killed defense with the clear path fouls once and for all

[@sportjames23]

@M AA This here. As an huge MJ fan, I'd have to say this is my all time favorite Bulls playoff game. This was the only series during the Bulls championship era that I wasn't sure we'd win. The Knicks had taken us to 7 games the previous season, and were hungrier in the 1993 season. They had home court AND jumped out to a 2-0 lead on the Bulls. But this game...whew! What. A. Game. I was at a bar with some friends from high school and this game was on the TV. Back then, I had a routine of not watching the Bulls playoff games live because I couldn't enjoy watching them. I'd tape the games and watch them only if I knew the Bulls won by checking the scores after the game. Well, being in the bar with no way of controlling the TV, I tried to ignore the game, but people were getting hyped because the game was so good. So, I wound up watching it and that ending...DAMN.

[@toddsands6000]

@M AA - It's truly good to hear an honest take from a Bulls fan like yourself. As a Knicks fan, I was nervous about game 5 because of course, it's the critical game when teams are squared up in a 7 game series. This game 5 was personally in my opinion the most brutal, most intense game 5 I have ever watched. And to cap it off, the game went down to the wire. As a Knicks fan, I was in a bit of agony and a bit drained just watching this game. But overall, I praised the Bulls because that victory was hard earned.

[@thomasbusbice1144]

That last defensive possession for the bulls was insane

One of the best defensive sequence in the history of NBA

[@derrickelair8715]

Ewing for smith, smith, smith ,smith stopped smith stopped smith stopped again by pippen, what a play by Scottie Pippen. Final seconds jordan for Armstrong and the bulls have defeated the Knicks.

[@tashrif46]

This was the series where Scottie Pippen was unbelievable. He had 5 great games out of 6 and the bad game he had Michael Jordan scored 54pts

[@AHMAD-2324]

Agreed, the absolute best series I ever saw him play throughout their dynasty run. An if he didn't play like this IMO the Bulls lose this series to a deeper Knicks team. Because people forget Jordan had that bad wrist injury right before the playoffs an it affected his shooting and it showed throughout the playoffs. So he needed the sidekick to show up an that he did.

[@Jon77Levy]

Watch Ewing from 10:30. He dishes out the ball, trips, and falls with 10 seconds on the shot clock. Can't blame him for that. He's on his feet with 6 seconds to go. He stands and watches for about 4 seconds while his teammate gets blocked twice. He only gets in the paint when there are 2 seconds left on the shot clock, and it's too late. All the bulls are in the paint, scrambling for the ball, but Ewing just takes his time getting there. If he'd gotten up faster, and gone after the ball with the same hunger as Grant and Jordan and Pippen, they might have won.

[@jdilla21519]

[@marioguti9887]

Just to add some context to this game...this was 1993 and the Bulls were back to back champs but the NY Knicks finally had home court advantage. After NY won the first two hard fought games at home, many NBA experts believed that the Knicks would finally get over the hump and that the Bulls had run out of gas. Game 3 in Chicago was a Bulls blowout but game 4 was a battle and the Bulls needed every one of MJ's 52 point masterpiece, hitting jumper after contested jumper...the Bulls stole game 5 and finished a demoralized Knicks team in 6. Epic series, that my friends, was basketball...

[@MrSlashblade]

I will also confirm, John Starks did the best job possible against MJ. No other player I could think of made MJ work a bit harder for his points during his prime.
