That was by far the crappiest playoffs that I could remember under Stockton and Malone. Cwebb started it the round before by blowing up Stockton. Then the whole Portland fiasco. The flash from the camera just as Bruss shot the FT. Then Pippen nailing a devastating 3. Malone surrounded by Sabonis, Brian Grant, and Sheed.
That sucked.
Then the next year was pretty horrible, losing to Michael Finley and the Mavs in the first round. Calvin Booth destroyed us.
Wasn't the B-Russ free throw one from 2000? I remember someone was also shanking the basket or something. That was Horny's last game. :/
I remember it well because Utah fell down 2-0, came back to Salt Lake, lost game 3 and avoided a sweep on a Sunday playoff game in probably the least-attended playoff home game I've ever seen in Utah.
Then, in game 5, all what you laid out happened.
