Before the game

Spoiler-free context

Chicago and Cleveland had developed real hostility after Michael Jordan's series-winning shot the previous spring. Back in Richfield, Jordan faced the same opponent while chasing a second straight scoring title and trying to push the Bulls toward contender status.

Jordan's previous career high was 63 points, set against Boston in the 1986 playoffs.
The Cavaliers had eliminated Chicago in neither of their recent playoff meetings, making the matchup part of a growing divisional rivalry.
