Jordan scores 46 as Bulls take 3-2 series lead over Blazers
NBA Finals | Game 5
Bulls 119, Portland Trail Blazers 106
June 12, 1992 (Portland) — It figured to be the Blazers’ last big chance, with the best of seven series tied 2-2 and one more game in Portland. Michael Jordan was questioned by the media for playing golf on the day off between games, but it quickly became evident it was a bad idea to challenge him.
Jordan finished with 46 points, the most ever scored against a Portland team in the playoffs, and the Bulls captured a 119-106 victory, moving just one game away from a second straight title.
Scottie Pippen just missed a triple-double, adding 24 points, 11 rebounds and nine assists, while John Paxson scored 12 for the Bulls, who jumped out to a 39-26 lead after the first quarter and never looked back.
