Michael Jordan: 3 biggest winners and losers from ‘The Last Dance’
Utah Jazz
Out of all the three-peat teams the Bulls faced, the Jazz were the repeat offenders that suffered a Bulls’ finals defeat. Led by Hall of Famers John Stockton and Karl Malone, Utah had the team to possibly beat anyone in the league except the Bulls.
Michael Jordan was a dilemma they didn’t have an answer for while Malone’s dominance inside seemed to be neutralized against the defensive likes of Rodman and Pippen down-low throughout.
The Jazz went 126-38 in the regular season during their two-year NBA Finals run and 22-6 during their Western Conference postseason treks in that span as well. However, they always found a way to lose to the Bulls in six.
Usually, it happened at the helm of a clutch play from Michael Jordan whether it be a pass or pull-up dagger.
