The five Lakers players about to take the court were overwhelmed with excitement. This kind of treatment, Zen Master feels, might just be a once-in-a-lifetime event, and the players had the same feeling.
...
End of the interval break, the second quarter is about to begin.
The Bulls sent out a lineup of Ron Harper, Steve Kerr, Pippen, Rodman, and Kukoc.
Looking at Pippen taking the court, Zen Master muttered seeing the opponent's lineup: "Had I known their offensive adjustments were that good, it might have been better to let Michael and Scott rest a bit in the first quarter."
Bulls on the offensive first, Pippen initiated the attack by breaking through and distributing the ball to the weak-side cutting Ron Harper.
Ron Harper's cut and catch with the floater was slapped down by Campbell!
Jason Williams and Rodman battled for the rebound, George Lynch benefited, snatched the ball, held it tight, and gave no chance for the Bulls to steal.
