5 to 4.
"This tactic is simply useless, Phil, unless we really have Shawn Kemp at the power forward position. Your strategy of strong delays is futile! I think we should use my method!" Tex Winter had seen enough.
Winter's method was to have Pippen go under the screens when defending pick-and-rolls, limiting Roger's penetration and forcing him to take outside shots. After all, Roger's three-point shooting had been unstable in the previous round.
The Zen Master had no choice but to try out Winter's approach now, as the strategy of strong delays was proving pointless with the current results. He had to find a working method quickly in the first quarter.
On this offense for the Bulls, Jordan, caught between Harper and Roger, passed the ball to Pippen, who made the mid-range shot.
5 to 6, Jordan looked at Roger, who had double-teamed him and thus left Pippen open: "Looks like you also know Black Jesus needs to be guarded by two people, huh?"
