Rookie Tim Duncan's Spurs Lead Early But Jordan Denies Spurs Victory | Spurs at Bulls (11/3/1997)

[@Devin1996]

I watched this game live (I was 15 at the time) and I remember yelling at the tv and jumping around like a maniac rooting on the Bulls. Those were the days…..

[@dudelony]

See how intense a regular season game was back then? today we can only dream to see a game like this.

[@chrisuncleahmad789]

87 points after regulation or 97 points after 2OT is one thing I’m sorry but fewer points doesn’t always make a game more intense if it’s just brick after brick

[@kaukase539]

The lack of defense and talent nowadays is disgusting

[@ronaldsase4236]

MJ as always carried that will to win, a spirit of never give up until it is done.... Bulls of the 90s had these usual games, they seemed to struggle but having to hang on and win...how entertaining that was

[@RobertEstala]

How can we deterred this spurs Robinson led team was better than the spurs who beat lebron in finals

[@paulmo15]

Without Pippen Jordan still tells the world who's boss

[@ap6160]

A team with two legendary big men, still couldn't beat the Bulls (without Pippen at that). Rodman also grabbed 22 rebounds against those two tallers players. Wilt and Russell never faced two giants at the same time. These Bulls were really the greatest

[@nWoPorViDa]

Remember, this was Duncan just a few games into his career and still scored 19 points and grabbed 21 rebounds against the defending champs with two former defensive player of the year winners in Rodman and Jordan the Goat. This wasn't two time MVP NBA champion Duncan. Not even close and still held his own.

87 points after 2 overtimes. That is called DEFENSE. In today league after 2 overtimes maybe the winner had 160 points, this is why today NBA is a shit.

Without Pippen against SA with their Twin Towers , while MJ having an awful shooting night and still wins with timely conversions and team defense.

No way this bulls team would've beat this Spurs team a year later in '99. Look how they struggled here at home. It just isn't happening.

[@mstringer10]

If that's the case, the spurs should have won this game easily. Chicago was playing without their 2nd best player. Why did the spurs struggle is the question, there's an explanation why the bulls Struggled. Pippen dropping down to double Duncan is much different than Randy Brown

[@oronasundial]

​​​@@mstringer10 lots of reason's bull's we're at home and still had a loaded team regardless, nonetheless Spurs more in less left the door open enough for jordon to tie. Jordan was gassed in '98 he used his reserves in energy to win that last title. In the lock shorten season of '99 had he'd stayed much of his team would have to play that brutal 50 game schedule in two and half month's with multiple back to backs on a daily basis. Even if the bull's some how made the finals. No way thier getting past Duncun and Robinson in thier primes. Elliott believes this also. So I'm not alone on this, most nba hardcore fan's agree also, Same with that houston team of "94 jordon never got to Play the actual best in the west. That's just how it turned out unfortunately. Not to mention Duncun was a rookie here did you forget that? Idk hard to believe.

​@@raindelacruz8484 True. That's why my point still stands BULL'S don't win in '94 vs the Rocket's and they sure as hell are not touching my Spurs in '99 especially and the older wear and tear bull's by that time. It just isn't happening however realistically i do have the Bulls at 7-2 in the finals, had Jordan stayed and not took the two breaks in the '90s.

[@Gman7283-ys7xb]

Stick to reality,not conjecture 😂 If that's the case Houston would not have won twice if MJ hadn't retired. Orlando would have won had Shaq stayed and penny stayed healthy etc etc . Means nothing and has no basis in fact. No one can know, because it didn't happen. Senseless conjecture
