Michael Jordan Liked Grant Hill but Still Schooled Him (1996.01.21)

Dennis Rodman, Doug Collins wants to neutralize as much as possible. And Grant Hill showing up. Nice defense by Don Reed on the screen roll. He strung it out very nicely to make the... Their last five shots. Hill, the spinning move by Grant Hill. 69-13. We come up on four minutes to go. In this first half, Jordan for three. Pippen up front, Jordan and Kerr at the guards. Here is Jordan using some pickles. He's had since his glory days here with the Pistons. Jordan, yes! I'm on the perimeter here. Joe Dumars, as if he was going to drive to the basket and he still... Of course, by the best in the business, Dennis Rodman. That's a three! Jordan and challenged that shot. But Alan Euston with his hands all the way down. A minute and a half gone by in the third. A couple of steals, a couple of blocked shots and scored eight points as well. Beautiful move. You can't get back into a game when you're a little bit slow in transition defense as Alan Euston finally got there in his last five minutes remaining. I should say five minutes gone by and he has 29 points. He's such a good rebounder. He anticipates every shot to be missed. He's always thinking about position. Chased by Jordan, tipping all the way. Jordan trailing him, looking for the reach and to knock it away. The Pistons, Jordan. As the only creator, he has to do too much. It's not going to work. Here's that post up again. This time backing in a little bit, but you still see the... That clear-cut three-dominant player team. He had a lot of players. Jordan over the Pistons in the first of four meetings this season.
