Scottie Pippen's single-game score still didn't exceed 20, while Roger and Shaq combined for 73 points.
Described by Magic as the strongest duo in history, they declared their comeback with a dominant victory.
After the game, Bulls center Luc Longley was very helpless, "If the two best players in a playoff series are both in Orlando, how can we win?"
This comment hit the nail on the head.
Usually, in a playoff series, the two best players are typically on two different teams, each the star of their respective teams.

Because the first round of the series was a best-of-five format, a 2-0 lead was almost a death sentence for the Bulls.
Reinsdorf, furious to the point of exploding blood vessels, yelled at home, "Trade him, let him roll!"
He was referring to Scottie Pippen.
