March 14, 1987, is the day the Washington Bullets enjoyed the luxury of facing a rare poor performance from Michael Jordan.

Michael Jordan scored the second-fewest points in his 1986-87 campaign at just 13, and if he had just played slightly closer to his abnormally high standards, he would have added to the extensive number of wins he achieved with the Chicago Bulls as they lost by just one point.

A 25% field goal accuracy along with a game-high seven turnovers from MJ allowed the Bullets to take advantage of this off night from the greatest player of all time and secure the win for their fans.
