ON THIS DAY (1997) – Right now, only the Miami Heat and Denver Nuggets remain in the NBA playoffs. The rest of the field has been eliminated. But long ago, the Chicago Bulls were still playing at this time, as Michael Jordan led them to the NBA Finals six times in the 1990s, winning all six.
In the franchise’s history, the Bulls have only played one game on June 6, and it was in 1997. Chicago was playing in their fifth NBA Championship in seven years and were up 2-0 on the Utah Jazz. Unfortunately, in Game 3, they ended up falling short, dropping their first contest of the series.
