Summary
When the Miami Heat were down 3-0 against Michael Jordan’s Bulls in 1997, star center Alonzo Mourning unleashed a brutal, physical game—delivering a hard elbow to Scottie Pippen that left a welt. Mourning targeted Pippen and Dennis Rodman, turning the series into a personal battle. Jordan took offense, declaring Game 5 a “grudge match,” and responded with a ferocious performance, scoring 15 points in the first quarter en route to a 100-87 win that sealed the Bulls’ comeback.
