The signing location for Pippen's new contract is finally set at the Chicago Bulls' office.
The 0:2 deficit makes Jerry Krause have to give the team's second-in-command a morale boost, hoping he can make an impact in the third game.
On the plane back to Chicago, the Bulls were unprecedentedly gloomy this season. They were as happy a week ago when they defeated the Detroit Pistons as they are dejected at this moment.
Unlike after the first game, Jordan did not restrain his temper again. After the game, he was furious and scolded everyone in the locker room.
Of course, he also criticized himself, saying he played like a piece of dog shit. He was the main culprit for the team's loss.
In the second game, Jordan only scored 31 points. The Trail Blazers' multi-layered defense and Sabonis's timely blocking of breakthrough routes prevented Jordan from performing at his best.
