Edited sentence: 1998 NBA Finals: The Chicago Bulls raced to a 3–2 lead but nearly lost Game 6 until Michael Jordan made two key baskets for a one-point win and the championship.Another example came during the second quarter when Utah's backup point guard, Howard Eisley, made a three pointer as the shot clock expired.Game 6 had a few questionable calls, most famously Michael Jordan pushing off of Bryon Russell to make the winning shot.He clearly got it off in time, but the referees called it off.If any or all of these calls had been made differently, the series would have probably gone to a Game 7, which would have been played in Utah.It also marked the fourth for Shaquille O'Neal and the fifth for coach Pat Riley, both of whom had not won a title outside of Los Angeles.It is possible he really didn't get it off in time.It would be Jordan's last play for the Bulls.Paul Pierce won Finals MVP at the expense of his hometown team.Robert Horry shot a three-pointer at the end of the first overtime for a 96–95 win.The Spurs thus took a 3–2 lead going home and although losing Game 6 narrowly, could not be kept from clinching the championship in Game 7.The final example came in the fourth quarter, when Ron Harper of the Bulls hit a two point field goal as the shot clock expired.To watch these plays, go to the link in this reference
