Jazz-Bulls brings back memories

Utah and Chicago run it back tonight (8 ET), after putting together a 150-147 double-overtime thriller on Nov. 16.

The matchup always brings back memories of the 1997 and 1998 NBA Finals, where the Bulls defeated the Jazz to clinch the last two titles of their 1990s dynasty.

“For us to beat them twice, I think that says a lot about our team because they were a great team,” Michael Jordan later said of the Jazz, as he was enshrined into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame in 2009. “They could have easily beaten us twice.”
