The crucial game five that propelled the Bulls to the NBA finals, ending the Knicks 27 game home winning streak in a game that left Knicks fans stunned. This game epitomized how great the Bulls-Knicks rivalry actually was.

Absolutely right! The Knicks made the mistake of relying on their home court to win this series. Having the home court advantage is good, but you have to know how to win games on the road in critical situations. The Bulls knew how to do that. Once you lose a game at home and you have the home court advantage, you have to win on the road to keep your season alive.

For this game’s particular intro, you get the NBA on NBC logo swiveling onto a live look as the NBA Playoffs logo was being animated on. But you see a black screen as that was going on here; perhaps the production truck messed up and didn’t put the live camera in the sequence? Nope! The matchup graphic is actually a live shot of Times Square! NBC handled the NBA with love and care; here’s hoping they can do the same in their future NBA TV contract.

The NBA on NBC has the best story intro of all time. Hands down! Since they’re coming back after next season I am looking forward to seeing modernizing the story intros including the Roundball rock theme. P.S.: the New York Knicks will be televised on NBC again since they are now relevant again. I also wanna see their rivals such as the Celtics, Heat, 76ers, Pacers and Bulls being broadcasted on NBC too.

Man these eastern conference games from the 80s and 90s were the absolute best. The plays, the announcers, the crowds, just real excitement. Another great video and a really good job of blending the highlights.

What an intro!

For as much criticism as Charles Smith gets for this game, Starks and Ewing both had a chance to take the shot themselves but chose to give it up instead. The game should have never been put in Smith's hands to begin with. Also, the Knicks were gifted 35 free throws and missed 14 of them. You can't throw away points when the game is that close.

Ewing actually made a heck of a pass considering he was losing the ball, and then Smith goes and ruins it with those hilariously weak scoring attempts. I remember watching that live and everyone was laughing at not only how pathetic those scoring attempts were, but the eternal distraught look he had, when he had no one to blame but himself. No way the ref is calling a foul there like he thinks they should have. Refs will not give you that with the game on the line. You gotta earn it.

First 3 pointer in the game for Chicago came with less than a minute to play in the fourth.. funny, i didn't think you could win in the NBA unless you took at least 50 a game.

I'm a hiphop dancer so I love hip hop. But DAMN, Enter Sandman is the perfect song for any sport intro. Charles Smith got flaked a lot for the ending of this game, but Knicks shot free throws poorly was really why they lost.

Scottie Pippen is right in that last interview. You not only go up against the crowd in a road game, but you go up against the refs.

The 90s that taxis were in the streets of NYC, and the bulls beating the knicks.

If the Knicks win this game, they still lose game 6 at Chicago and still lose Game 7 at home with all the pressure on them. No one was beating Prime Jordan 91' - 93'.
