 Despite facing a much-improved Cavaliers team, the Bulls were still too much to handle, and they won in six games.With their co-tenants at Chicago Stadium, the Blackhawks, coached by Mike Keenan and captained by Dirk Graham, playing in the Stanley Cup Finals, it was an opportunity for both the Bulls and the Blackhawks to help the city of Chicago become the first city to have both NBA and NHL championships in the same year; unfortunately it was not to be, as the Blackhawks were swept at the hands of the Pittsburgh Penguins.The Trail Blazers were destined to meet the Bulls the previous year, having won a franchise record 63 games.
