It was the 1998 NBA Finals between the Utah Jazz and the Chicago Bulls, and the Jazz had taken a 3-2 lead in the series heading into Game 6. The pressure was on the Bulls to win, or they would lose their chance at a second three-peat.
The Jazz came out strong, dominating the first half and leading by as much as 16 points. The crowd in the Delta Center was electric, full of excitement and anticipation of a Jazz championship.
But the Bulls weren't ready to give up. Led by Michael Jordan's 45 points and Scottie Pippen's 17 points and 10 rebounds, they fought back in the second half, slowly chipping away at the Jazz's lead.
With just over a minute left in the game, the Jazz led by three points and had possession of the ball. But Jordan, playing in his last game as a Bull, stole the ball from Karl Malone and hit a game-winning jumper with 5.2 seconds left on the clock.
The Jazz had one last chance, but John Stockton's three-point attempt missed the mark, and the Bulls had completed the greatest comeback in NBA Finals history.
The game was a true testament to the heart and determination of the Chicago Bulls, who refused to let the Jazz celebrate on their home court. It was also a fitting end to Jordan's legendary career, cementing his status as one of the greatest basketball players of all time.
