The Eastern Conference champion Chicago Bulls took on the Western Conference champion Portland Trail Blazers for the title, with Chicago having home court advantage, as they had the best record in the NBA that season. The two teams appeared headed to face each other for most of the season and comparisons were made between Clyde Drexler and Michael Jordan throughout the season. A month earlier Sports Illustrated had even listed Drexler as Jordan 's `` No. 1 rival '' on a cover the two appeared on together before the playoffs. The media, hoping to recreate a Magic Johnson -- Larry Bird type rivalry in Jordan - Drexler, compared the two throughout the pre-Finals hype. The Bulls would go on to win the series in six games. Michael Jordan was named Finals Most Valuable Player for the second year in a row, to go with his sixth straight regular season scoring title. NBC Sports used commentator Ahmad Rashād ( both teams ' sidelines ).

Proving that their maiden championship was no fluke, the Bulls continued their dominance in the 1991 -- 92 season, finishing with a 67 -- 15 record, surpassing last season 's record by six games. Jordan won his second consecutive MVP award with a 30.1 / 6.4 / 6.1 season. After easily sweeping the Miami Heat in the opening round, they encountered the New York Knicks, who were now coached by Pat Riley. The Knicks ' hard - nosed style of play soon took its toll on the Bulls, but led by Jordan, they were able to escape in seven games. Up next were the Cleveland Cavaliers in the conference finals, whom the Bulls have beaten in two prior postseason meetings. Despite facing a much - improved Cavaliers team, the Bulls were still too much to handle, and they won in six games. With their co-tenants at Chicago Stadium, the Blackhawks, coached by Mike Keenan and captained by Dirk Graham, playing in the Stanley Cup Finals, it was an opportunity for both the Bulls and the Blackhawks to help the city of Chicago become the first city to have both NBA and NHL championships in the same year. Portland Trail Blazers Main article : 1991 -- 92 Portland Trail Blazers season The Trail Blazers were destined to meet the Bulls the previous year, having won a franchise record 63 games. But the Los Angeles Lakers had other ideas, defeating Portland in six games of the conference finals. Retaining the same core that led the Blazers to the finals in 1990, the team won the Pacific Division title with a 57 -- 25 record. They took advantage of a weakened Lakers team that lost Magic Johnson to retirement earlier in the season, winning 3 -- 1 in the first round. They followed that up with a five - game defeat of the Phoenix Suns in the second round, before booking another trip to the finals with a six - game elimination of the Utah Jazz in the conference finals. The 1992 NBA Finals would cement the reputations of both Michael Jordan and Clyde Drexler ( placing the latter firmly in the former 's shadow ).

This included six first - half threes ( also a record ). It was after the sixth three - pointer that Jordan turned towards the broadcast table and famously shrugged to indicate his surprise. Jordan 's shrug became a highlight reel mainstay. Portland held their final lead at 45 - 44 in the second quarter before Chicago went on a 22 - 6 run to grab a 66 - 51 halftime lead and take control. The Bulls finished with a 122 - 89 win over the Portland Trail Blazers.

However, the Blackhawks series ended in 4 games, so no rescheduling was needed. Portland built an eight - point lead in the first quarter, and also built a nine - point lead in the half. However, as in Game 1, their lead started to disappear as the Bulls made their run -- Jordan would score 14 points while Paxson would score 9 points in the third quarter, taking a seven - point lead in the third quarter. Chicago was looking to take a commanding 2 - 0 lead in the series when Clyde Drexler fouled out with 4 : 36 remaining. With the Bulls up by 10, Jordan started to lose his poise, committing a foul and then a technical foul. This would help Portland build a 15 - 5 run, pushing the game into overtime after Jordan narrowly missed at the buzzer. In overtime, Portland dominated, especially Ainge, who scored six points with one minute remaining as the Blazers won 115 - 104 -- the Bulls ' worst home defeat in an NBA Finals game.

Rush No. 13 Mike Mathis No. 21 Bill Oakes Chicago had lost home court advantage, but dominated Portland, holding them to numerous franchise playoff lows : 84 points in a game, 39 second - half points and 28 field goals. Chicago would go on a 30 - 13 run in the first half to gain a 44 - 30 lead which Portland would cut to three with 7 : 09 left in the third before the Bulls went to another 12 - 3 run. Portland would then go on a field goal drought, not scoring from the 4 : 33 mark in the third quarter until the 9 : 36 mark of the fourth, a 6 : 57 stretch. Game 4 NBC June 10 9 : 00et Chicago Bulls 88, Portland Trail Blazers 93 Scoring by quarter : 26 -- 18, 22 -- 27, 21 -- 21, 19 -- 27 Pts : Michael Jordan 32 Rebs : Horace Grant 10 Asts : Jordan, Pippen 6 each Pts : Drexler, Kersey 21 each Rebs : Kevin Duckworth 11 Asts : Clyde Drexler 9 Series tied, 2 -- 2 Memorial Coliseum, Portland, Oregon Attendance : 12,888 Referees : No. 10 Darell Garretson No. 17 Joey Crawford No. 27 Dick Bavetta Portland was still playing as they were during Game 3, not scoring for four minutes and finding themselves down 10 - 0. The Bulls would be up 22 - 9 before the Blazers climbed up and cut the deficit to three at half but found themselves down again in the third quarter. While Jordan scored 13 points in the third quarter, he would not score in the game 's final 10 : 26. Portland would go on a 15 - 6 run to even the series at two games. Game 5 NBC June 12 9 : 00et Chicago Bulls 119, Portland Trail Blazers 106 Scoring by quarter : 39 -- 26, 27 -- 28, 28 -- 24, 25 -- 28 Pts : Michael Jordan 46 Rebs : Scottie Pippen 11 Asts : Scottie Pippen 9 Pts : Clyde Drexler 30 Rebs : Jerome Kersey 12 Asts : Terry Porter 8 Chicago leads the series, 3 -- 2 Memorial Coliseum, Portland, Oregon Attendance : 12,888 Referees : No. 11 Jake O'Donnell No. 20 Jess Kersey No. 42 Hue Hollins The Bulls jumped out to a 10 - 2 lead and never looked back, answering every Blazers comeback attempt with a run of their own. Chicago opened the second half on a 16 - 8 run to give the Bulls a 20 - point lead. Portland did n't pull back within single digits until less than four minutes were left in the game, and ended up losing 119 - 106. Michael Jordan, who briefly sat with a bad ankle, finished with 46 points on 14 - of - 23 from the field and 16 - of - 19 from the line. Scottie Pippen fell just short of a triple - double, with 24 points, 11 rebounds and nine assists. Clyde Drexler scored 30 points to lead six Portland players in double figures. However, Portland had 18 turnovers and shot just 43.8 percent from the field, compared to 54.8 percent for the Bulls.

Rush No. 13 Mike Mathis Portland started strongly as they held Michael Jordan scoreless for the game 's first 11 minutes, and would take a 43 - 28 lead midway through the second quarter before Chicago went on a 16 - 7 run and cut the deficit to only six points. Portland also dominated the third quarter, building a 79 - 64 lead. Phil Jackson would go with four reserves and Scottie Pippen to start the fourth quarter, cutting Portland 's lead to three after only three minutes. Jordan returned and had two steals and converted them to hoops to give Chicago a permanent lead. The Bulls ' defense would hold Portland to only six points in the final four minutes, leading the Bulls to their second straight championship.

Untouchabulls and `` Jam '' Just months later, the 1991 -- 92 NBA season documentary Untouchabulls was released. Narrated by Hal Douglas, it recaps the Bulls ' championship season. `` Jam '' by Michael Jackson was used as the theme song for the documentary. That same year, Jordan was featured in Jackson 's music video for `` Jam ''. Aftermath The Bulls won their third straight championship in the 1992 -- 93 season, winning 57 games and defeating the Phoenix Suns in the 1993 NBA Finals. In the offseason that preceded Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen played for the Dream Team that won the gold medal in the Barcelona Olympics, making them the first players to win NBA championship and Olympic gold medal in the same year ( Pippen would achieve this feat again in 1996 ). That team also included Blazers guard Clyde Drexler. This made Jordan, Patrick Ewing of the New York Knicks and Chris Mullin of the Golden State Warriors the only players to have won Olympic gold medals as both amateurs and professionals, having played for Team USA in Los Angeles. The 1992 Finals would be the Blazers ' last finals appearance to date. In the next three seasons, the Blazers rebuilt the team, hiring general manager Bob Whitsitt in 1994 and lost the core of their 1992 Finals team to free agency and trades, beginning with Kevin Duckworth 's departure to the Bullets in the 1993 offseason. The last remaining piece of the team, Clyde Drexler, was traded and went on to win the NBA championship with the Houston Rockets in 1995. The 1991 -- 92 Bulls, along with the 1995 -- 96 Bulls, were named one of the 10 greatest teams in NBA history during the league 's golden anniversary. The 1992 championship marked the only time the Bulls celebrated their title at the Chicago Stadium. Following the awarding ceremony by commissioner David Stern, they returned to the court to show their newly - won title in front of Bulls fans. This act eventually led to Stern 's decision to present the NBA championship to the winning team at center court in front of the fans, starting in 1994 ; the only exception was when the Lakers won in 2001 at Philadelphia 's First Union Center, but decided to hold the ceremony in their locker room. Two other home championship celebrations followed in the 1996 and 1997 Finals, this time at the similarly - constructed but bigger United Center.
