Swarming Pistons Defense Keeps Michael Jordan in Check (7-of-22 from the field)
March 13, 1987 - This nine-day stretch of the 1986-87 regular season was the tale of two extremes. On March 4, Michael Jordan rolled into the Pontiac Silverdome and hung a casual 61-spot on the Pistons in a 125-120 overtime win. For the rematch, however, Detroit seemed to have an answer—which was to swarm Jordan with a multitude of defenders and hope for one of two possible outcomes: 1. Jordan fires at will anyway 2. Jordan is forced to utilize his meager supporting cast In the end, both elements came to fruition, with Jordan continuously attempting high difficulty shots through heavy defensive contests while his teammates did what they could to keep the Bulls afloat. And, odd as it may sound, it was performances like John Paxson's 8-of-11 night and Charles Oakley's 16 points and 12 rebounds that secured a double-digit lead for the Bulls throughout much of the evening. As Detroit tightened their vice grip down the stretch, Chicago saw their lead dissipate, until it was up to Jordan to save the day, as he so often would. Alas, as with the majority of his attempts on this particular night, his final shot went begging, delivering the Pistons a thrilling 100-99 road victory. Jordan finished with 24 points in all—10 points below his season average—while shooting just 7-of-22 from the field. Box Score: https://www.basketball-reference.com/boxscores/198703130CHI.html

NBA: Detroit Pistons - Chicago Bulls 1988 ECSF G5
Quinto partido de la semifinal de la Conferencia Este de 1988, disputado en el SilverDome de Pontiac, Michigan. La Serie llegaba con 3-1 favorable a los pujantes Bad Boys, frente a unos Bulls que habían conseguido por primera vez superar la primera ronda desde la llegada de Michael Jordan, pero que todavía estaban algo verdes. Fue el primero de los cuatro años consecutivos en los que estos equipos se enfrentaron en playoffs en lo que fue una rivalidad encarnizada, que ya había comenzado a fraguarse esta temporada con una importante tangana en un partido de temporada regular. Los Bulls habían conseguido hacerse con el factor cancha al ganar el segundo encuentro en campo de los Pistons, pero el equipo de Detroit había puesto las cosas en su sitio con dos victorias a domicilio en el Chicago Stadium, por lo que llegaban a este quinto envite con la posibilidad de cerrar la serie en su campo. Por los Pistons, entrenados por Chuck Daily, jugaron Isiah Thomas, Joe Dumars, Adrian Dantley, Rick Mahorn, Bill Laimbeer, John Salley, Vinnie Johnson, Dennis Rodman y James Edwards. Por su parte, los Bulls de Doug Collins contaron con Sam Vincent, Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, Charles Oakley, Dave Corzine, John Paxson, Horace Grant y Brad Sellers.
