The Chicago Bulls defeated the Portland Trail Blazers four games to two in the best-of-seven NBA Finals series to conclude the 1991-92 NBA season. It was the second of three consecutive championship for the Bulls, who joined the Pistons, Lakers and Celtics as the only franchises to win consecutive titles.

The Trail Blazers were making their second Finals appearance in three seasons, having lost to the Pistons in 1990. This series featured a much-anticipated matchup between MVP Michael Jordan and runner-up Clyde Drexler, who were considered the two best shooting guards in the game.

Jordan took home NBA Finals MVP honors, becoming the first player ever to win the award in two consecutive seasons. He was just the fifth player to win multiple Finals MVP awards, joining Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Willis Reed.

The Bulls had home-court advantage for the Finals. The Bulls swept the two regular-season meetings between the teams.

Michael Jordan put on a show for the ages in the first half, sparking a 23-6 run to close the half while scoring an NBA Finals-record 35 points before halftime. Jordan, never considered a good 3-point shooter, connected on six 3-pointers in the first half, giving a famous shoulder-shrug to the NBC announcers table (which included the recently retired Magic Johnson) after making his sixth 3-pointer. The Bulls led by 15 at halftime and outscored the Blazers by 21 in the third quarter, cruising to a Game 1 win.

Jordan finished the game with 39 points and 11 assists, focusing on getting his teammates involved in the second half after his first-half outburst. Scottie Pippen had 24 points, nine rebounds and 10 assists, missing a triple-double by a single rebound. Clyde Drexler and Cliff Robinson each had 16 points to lead Portland.

When the NBA compilied its list of the 60 Greatest Playoff Moments to coincide with the league's 60th anniversary, Jordan's performance ranked No. 22 on the list.

The Blazers led by nine points at halftime, but were again crushed in the third quarter, as the Bulls took a seven-point lead into the fourth. Despite Clyde Drexler fouling out with 4:36 left in the fourth quarter and the Blazers down by 10, Portland was able to come back. A technical foul on Michael Jordan sparked a 15-5 Portland run to end the fourth quarter, and Jordan missed a potential game-winning shot at the buzzer. In the overtime session, Danny Ainge matched a Finals record by scoring nine points, outscoring the Bulls by himself. Portland scored 18 points as a team in the extra five minutes, earning a nine-point win and tying the series at 1.

Portland had a balanced attack, with six different players scoring at least 12 points, led by Drexler's 26. Terry Porter had 24 points, including seven of Portland's 15 points during the run to end regulation. Jordan finished with a game-high 39 points for the second consecutive game and also had 10 assists. Two Bulls players nearly had triple-doubles, as Scottie Pippen finished with 16 points, 10 assists and eight rebounds, while Horace Grant had 10 points, 12 rebounds and seven assists.

The Bulls bounced back from their Game 2 loss to take an eight-point lead in the first quarter, then used a stifling defense to hold Portland to 84 points, which at the time matched the fewest points the Blazers had ever scored in a playoff game. The Bulls used a 30-13 run spanning the first two quarters to take a 14-point lead. Portland got as close as three with 7:09 left in the third quarter, but the Bulls responded with a 12-3 run and were never seriously challenged from that point on.

Chicago was led by 26 points from Michael Jordan and 18 each from Scottie Pippen and Horace Grant. Clyde Drexler led all scorers with 32 points, but no other Blazers player had more than 12.

After trailing for most of the game, the Blazers ended the game on a 15-6 run to even the series at two games apiece. The Blazers used a small lineup to spark their run, going with a three-guard set of Clyde Drexler, Terry Porter and Danny Ainge. Scottie Pippen, who'd scored 14 points in the first three quarters, was held to three points in the final quarter, and Michael Jordan was held scoreless for the final 10:26 of the game.

Jordan finished with 32 points to lead all scorers, but he and Pippen were the only Bulls in double figures. Drexler and Jerome Kersey led a balanced Blazers attack, scoring 21 points each. Seven different Blazers scored at least six points.

The Bulls jumped out to a 10-2 lead and never looked back, answering every Blazers comeback attempt with a run of their own. Chicago opened the second half on a 16-8 run to give the Bulls a 20-point lead. Portland didn't pull back within single digits until less than four minutes were left in the game, and ended up losing by 13 points.

Michael Jordan bounced back from his rough ending to Game 4 to finish with 46 points, shooting 14-of-23 from the field and 16-of-19 from the line. Scottie Pippen fell just short of a triple-double, finishing with 24 points, 11 rebounds and nine assists. Clyde Drexler scored 30 points to lead six Portland players in double figures. However, Portland had 18 turnovers and shot just 43.8 percent from the field, compared to 54.8 percent for the Bulls.

Back home with a chance to close out the series, the Bulls struggled through much of the early part of the game. The Blazers led by as many as 15 points in the first half, and were up by 15 heading into the final quarter. The Bulls responded, however, outscoring Portland 33-14 in the final 12 minutes to earn their second consecutive championship.

In that fateful final quarter, Chicago shot 68 percent from the field while holding Portland to 29 percent shooting. Michael Jordan, who started the fourth quarter on the bench while Phil Jackson used his reserves, scored six of the Bulls' final eight points. Jordan finished with 33 points to lead all scorers, while Scottie Pippen added 26.

Clyde Drexler and Jerome Kersey each scored 24 for the Blazers, who set a Finals record by going 21-of-21 from the free throw line. Portland had 21 turnovers and the Bulls scored 16 points off Blazers turnovers in the fourth quarter.
