CHICAGO (AP) — This was not
the expiration date for the Chicago
Bulls. Their dynasty has survived to
see another series.
The Bulls made it back to the
NBA Finals on Sunday night and
kept alive their quest for a sixth
championship by outlasting the In
diana Pacers 88-83 in a riveting
Game 7 of the
Eastern Con
ference finals.
In a tight,
back-and-
forth game
that culminat
ed two weeks
of struggle and
drama, the
Bulls used
their ability to
excel in pres
sure situations to overcome the
Pacers’ determination and grit.
It all came down to the final five
minutes, and Michael Jordan and
his teammates displayed intensity
and control as they came up with
all the clutch plays.
The Bulls scored nine of the
game’s final 13 points and watched
Jordan
the Pacers fail to find ways to match
them as they moved on to a date
with the Utah Jazz beginning
Wednesday night.
Chicago will be playing for its
sixth championship this decade,
and perhaps to somehow keep their
dynasty intact — quite an accom
plishment for a team that was greet
ed on its home court Sunday by a
mood of desperation and finality.
In this city where fans have be
come spoiled by the routineness of
titles and the greatness of Jordan,
there was a strange feeling sur
rounding this game.
Could this really be the end of
the run, the “Last Dance” as coach
Phil Jackson keeps calling it?
It might have been, if not for the
way Chicago played at the end.
The game was tied 79-79 going

DENVER (AP) — Dante Bichette
hit a two-out, two-run homer in the
ninth, lifting the Colorado Rockies
over the Houston Astros 7-5 Sunday.
Bichette’s blast off Doug Henry
(3-2) helped the Rockies maintain
their mastery in Denver over the
Astros, who are 6-21 here.
Chuck McElroy (1-1) pitched a
perfect eighth and ninth to earn
j the win.
Pinch-hitter Jason Bates led off
the ninth with sharp single to cen-
! ter. Pinch-runner Curtis Goodwin
stole second, thanks to catcher
Brad Ausmus’ high throw, and was
sacrificed to third by Neifi Perez.
Ellis Burks popped out, but
Bichette, who had failed in clutch
hitting situations recently and was
0-for-3 with the bases loaded in the
past three games, homered into the
bullpen in right-center.
Moises Alou homered twice and
drove in four runs for the Astros.
Vinny Castilla had a two-run
homer and three RBI for Colorado.
The Rockies struck for four runs
in the first off Jose Lima. Perez
walked, was sacrificed to second and
scored on Larry Walker’s two-out,
broken-bat single to center. Castilla
then hit Lima’s first pitch into the
\eft-fie\d stands for his 19th homer,
and [odd Helton followed with a
solo shot to right-center, his seventh.
