It featured the two-time defending NBA champion and Eastern Conference champion Chicago Bulls, led by Michael Jordan, and the Western Conference champion Phoenix Suns, winners of 62 games and led by regular season MVP Charles Barkley. The Bulls became the first team since the Boston Celtics of the 1960s to win three consecutive championship titles, clinching the "three-peat" with John Paxson's game-winning 3-pointer that gave them a 99–98 victory in Game 6.Top NBA Finals moments: John Paxson's 3-pointer seals three-peat for Bulls https://www.nba.com/news/history-finals-moments-john-paxson-3-pointer-1993 February 25, 2022 www.nba.com en Background Chicago Bulls 1992–93 Chicago Bulls season With two consecutive NBA championships, the Bulls aimed at an elusive "three-peat". No team had won a third consecutive NBA title since the Boston Celtics won eight in a row from 1959 to 1966. In the off-season, Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen played for the Dream Team at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, winning the gold medal. They entered the new season with little rest, but that did not stop them from leading the Bulls to a 57–25 record, good for second in the Eastern Conference. Chicago began its push for a three-peat with back-to-back sweeps of the Atlanta Hawks and Cleveland Cavaliers. But against the top-seeded New York Knicks, the Bulls fell behind 2–0 before winning the next two games in Chicago, tying the series. In Game 5 at Madison Square Garden, the Bulls stole a rare road victory, aided by an array of blocks on Charles Smith in the final seconds,https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRFKhpMKX0E NBA Moment - 1993 Bulls block Charles Smith 2009-05-17 whereisbasketball 2026-06-22 YouTube before wrapping up the series in Game 6 at Chicago Stadium.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-EFf-briac Knicks @ Bulls 1993 ECF Game 6 (NBA On NBC) 2026-06-01 MDBBall 2026-06-22 YouTube Phoenix Suns 1992–93 Phoenix Suns season The Suns were a team on the rise, led by their All-Star point guard Kevin Johnson. Johnson arrived via trade in 1988, and propelled the Suns to two consecutive trips to the conference finals in his first two full seasons. In the 1992 off-season, the Suns made a blockbuster trade, acquiring Charles Barkley from the Philadelphia 76ers in exchange for Jeff Hornacek, Tim Perry, and Andrew Lang.Coughenour Jim 2012-08-22 The Suns Best Trade Ever: Charles Barkley Becomes a Sun https://www.brightsideofthesun.com/2012/8/22/3260590/the-suns-best-trade-ever-charles-barkley-becomes-a-sun 2026-06-22 Bright Side Of The Sun They also promoted assistant coach Paul Westphal to head coach, unveiled new logos and uniforms, and moved from Arizona Veterans Memorial Coliseum to the brand-new America West Arena.Tip-Off to Phoenix Suns Historic Journey to the 1993 NBA Finals Phoenix Suns https://www.nba.com/suns/history/tip-phoenix-suns-historic-journey-1993-nba-finals 2026-06-22 www.nba.com The Suns made the most of these moves, winning a franchise record 62 games.

Before the game, a moment of silence was observed in memory of New Jersey Nets guard Dražen Petrović, who had been killed in a car crash two days earlier. The Bulls led the game from start to finish, and were able to quell several rallies from the Suns throughout.

In the second half, the Suns began to pressure the Bulls, but ran into trouble when Kevin Johnson fouled out, and Charles Barkley suffered an elbow injury. Late in the 4th quarter with time running out, it came down to a battle of determination. Scottie Pippen blocked Danny Ainge's 3-point attempt to seal the win and Phoenix became the first team to lose their home-court advantage twice in the first two games of the NBA Finals (the Orlando Magic did this two years later).May 2020 Game 3 #eee June 13 7:00et Chicago Stadium, Chicago NBC Phoenix Suns |score1=129 Chicago Bulls 121 3OT 29–29 29–28 28–28 17–18 4–4, 7–7, 15–7 Dan Majerle 28 Michael Jordan 44 Charles Barkley 19 Horace Grant 17 Kevin Johnson 9 Scottie Pippen 9 18,676 No. 10 Darell Garretson No. 13 Mike Mathis No. 27 Dick Bavetta Chicago leads the series, 2–1 The Phoenix Suns won Game 3 in triple overtime, 129–121. Horace Grant hits the game-tying 3-point play with 1:33 left in regulation to force the first OT; Tom Chambers hits the game-tying layup with 50.9 seconds left in the first OT to force the second OT; Dan Majerle hits the game-tying shot with 3.2 seconds left in the second OT to force the third OT. Suns Head Coach Paul Westphal became the only person to appear in two triple-overtime finals games: the first was the classic 1976 Game 5 contest against Boston as a player. His Suns also became the only team to appear in two triple-overtime finals games, the first of which they lost 126–128. Westphal made a surprising move that paid off, helping to get Kevin Johnson back on track after Johnson played terribly in Games 1 and 2, by having him guard Michael Jordan. KJ played much better basketball for the rest of the Finals.

The Bulls won 111–105. Scott Williams, who like MJ played his college basketball at UNC for Dean Smith, joked afterwards about "being proud that the two former Tar Heels combined for 57 points."

Both Paul Westphal and Kevin Johnson later expressed amusement about Barkley taking credit for the line because Westphal had made a tongue-in-cheek comment to that effect in a pregame meeting. Regardless, the Suns did save the city. The Suns won 108–98 and headed home for Game 6 down 3–2.

Rush No. 13 Mike Mathis Chicago wins the NBA Finals, 4–2 The Bulls got off to a good start in Game 6 but struggled in the fourth quarter, squandering a double-digit lead to trail 98–94. Michael Jordan made a layup to cut the lead to 2 points, and Dan Majerle's 30-foot three-pointer fell short on the Suns' next possession. Trailing 98–96 and playing a Game 7 on the road if they lost that day, Chicago ran a play that Phil Jackson called "Blind Pig" that had them increasing the play's "thrust" by bringing the ball from 3/4 back of the basket. Although Westphal's sole instruction on the play was for none of the players to double-team any of the Bulls (even Michael Jordan), Danny Ainge left John Paxson to try and either steal the ball or foul Horace Grant, who had missed all five of his shot attempts in the game and wasn't a good crunch-time free throw shooter. Grant saw Paxson alone 25 feet from the basket and fired a perfect pass, and Paxson then made a three pointer with 3.9 seconds left, giving the Bulls a 99–98 lead. Paxson's three-point field goal was the only score by any Bulls player other than Michael Jordan in the entire fourth quarter. The victory was secured by a last-second block from Grant on Kevin Johnson, thanks to Paxson's game-winning 3-point field goal. Bulls: Michael Jordan 33, Scottie Pippen 23, B. J.

He joined Magic Johnson as the only other player to win the award three times. The NBA started awarding the Finals MVP in 1969. Across 17 games in the NBA Finals from 1991 to 1993, Jordan averaged 36.2 PPG, 7.8 APG, 6.6 RPG on 52% from the field and 42% from 3.

After the series, Johnson soon left NBC and returned to the Lakers for various roles, while Fratello was hired by the Cleveland Cavaliers as their head coach. Both were replaced by recently departed Orlando Magic head coach Matt Guokas. Albert and Fratello later reunited in 1999, this time calling NBA games on TNT, and would continue to do so for several more years. The 1993 NBA championship documentary, Three-Peat, marked the first time since 1982 that NBA Entertainment used film in on-court or off-court action, although most of it used videotape. It was narrated by Hal Douglas, who narrated the NBA Championship documentaries of the NBA Finals from 1992 to 1997. Aftermath thumb|USS Chicago (SSN 721) painted in the Bulls logo after their championship win. A month after the Bulls' third straight championship, Michael Jordan's father, James R. Jordan, Sr., was murdered.Tribune Chicago 2018-08-09 Absence of answers: The James Jordan murder https://graphics.chicagotribune.com/james-jordan-murder/index.html 2026-06-22 graphics.chicagotribune.com Distraught by the murder of his father, Jordan announced his retirement from basketball a few weeks before the 1993–94 NBA season began, citing a loss of desire to play basketball. Even without Jordan, the Bulls still managed to win 55 games behind the All-Star efforts of Scottie Pippen; however the loss of Jordan was steep to overcome, and following a controversial call that gave the New York Knicks a win in Game 5, the Bulls lost to Knicks in the second round of the 1994 NBA playoffs in Game 7. Jordan returned from retirement in March 1995, following a brief baseball career and would begin another three-peat in 1996, in which the Bulls defeated the Seattle SuperSonics in six games for their fourth championship. The 1993 Finals was the only appearance of Charles Barkley's Hall of Fame career. This would be the last Finals appearance for the Suns until 2021, which they would also lose in six games to the Milwaukee Bucks after leading the series two games to none. The Suns are still one of ten franchises to have never won an NBA Finals. John Paxson, the player who hit the game winning shot to give the Bulls the three-peat, stuck around the Bulls organization in many capacities after his playing career was over in 1994. Paxson was on Phil Jackson's staff in 1995-1996, the Bulls team that set the wins record. Afterwards, he stayed with the organization as a part-time color commentator on TV and radio. In 2003, Paxson left his broadcasting position to become general manager for the Bulls after the resignation of longtime Bulls general manager Jerry Krause. During Paxson's helm as lead executive of the Bulls front office, the team experienced average success. From the 2003–04 through 2018–19 seasons, they made the playoffs in all but five seasons, but only made one conference finals appearance. The Bulls have not been back to the NBA Finals since 1998. The 1993 NBA Finals marked the only instance in the "Big Four" professional sports in which a Chicago team defeated a Phoenix team in a playoff series. In the 2007 National League Division Series, the Arizona Diamondbacks swept the Chicago Cubs 3–0, while in the 2012 Stanley Cup playoffs, the former Phoenix Coyotes defeated the Chicago Blackhawks 4–2.
