Roger used a fake screen to break through Pippen and then jumped from mid-range to score with a layup.
This was Roger's 32nd point of the game. Before the fourth quarter, Roger intentionally reduced his shooting frequency, giving more opportunities to O'Neal and Grant.
So now he had enough energy to continue to produce steadily.
Now, it was his moment to shatter the myth of Black Jesus!
But Jordan quickly scored again. Harper had pushed Jordan to the right side of the court and with Grant's double team closing in, Jordan clearly could have passed to a completely open Webber.
But he ignored the wide-open space and took a drift shot under the double team's interference.
The basketball despairingly hit its mark again, bringing the difference back to three points. Orlando fans didn't know what else they could do to defend any better this time.
Jordan looked at Roger, who had scored 45 points by then, "See? Black Jesus never makes a mistake!"
