Throwback Tuesday
With the playoff beginning with some seriously entertaining games, let’s look back to one of the most dominant performances of all-time. Back in 1992, Bulls legend Michael Jordan did his usual 45-point slaughtering of an over-matched HEAT team. His teammate Scottie Pippen was almost just as dominant by chipping in 30 points for the Bulls win. The HEAT had no answer for either and with both of them feeling hot, this game was decided quickly.
