Seattle would once again deny the Bulls the championship, stretching the series to six games. Payton had this to say: “We feel great. We knew we could play with this team. It just took too long. We should have come with this a little earlier.“[3] Shawn Kemp’s performance in this game was considered by many to be his best in a Seattle uniform.
