#9 John Paxson Vs The Pheonix Suns - NBA Final, Game 6 (1993)
The Chicago Bulls led by Michael Jordan won their second title and were heavily favored to win their third in as many years. In the 1993 Finals, they faced The Pheonix Suns who had league MVP Charles Barkley along with Kevin Johnson and Dan Majerle. They led Pheonix to the best record in the NBA.
The score was 3-2 in Chicago's favor going into game six. Chicago having struggled throughout the game despite a bright start found themselves down 94-98 in the dying minutes of the game. Jordan made a quick layup and cut the lead to two. Dan Majerle's long three-pointer missed and Chicago had one last attempt to win the game.
The instruction given by Paul Westphal to his players was to not double-team anyone including Jordan, John Paxson still found himself wide open at the three-point line and was found by Horace Grant to give Chicago the lead with three seconds remaining. Grant then went on to make a last-second block to give The Bulls their three-peat.
This was Paxson's first points of the fourth quarter. He also happened to be the only other player from The Bulls to score any points in the quarter other than Michael Jordan who had nine.
