Chicago up 2-0 in the series and start well, with Jordan firing. They're up double-digits early and the Sonics escalate things with turnovers, the Bulls up 18 at the quarter break. Jordan continues on in the 2nd and Chicago even extends the lead out to 24 by the half. Seattle show some life in the 3rd, Pippen always with stellar defense though. Does Bill Wennington ever miss a shot... very talented big guy for the minutes he plays. The Bulls lead by 14 going into the last, not as close as the commentary's making it sound. Chicago kicks the margin back out in the 4th, with more Rodman antics. They take a commanding 3-0 series lead. Kemp who'd been the only Sonic to have a say on proceedings, didn't here and thus a battering took place. The Bulls shot lights out, Seattle okay from the field, poor from 3. Chicago +1 on the boards and took much better care of the ball, the Sonics with 20 turnovers. Jordan with an efficient 36 points, 5 assists and 2 steals. Pippen 12 points, 9 assists, 8 boards, 3 steals and no turnovers. Longley 19 points and 2 blocks. The Bulls bench also 9 of 12 from the field.
3. (Chi) M. Jordan, 2. (Chi) S. Pippen, 1. (Chi) L. Longley.
