I don't think I have ever seen a final score like that before, in the 50's that is.....

Pat Riley will probably put out an instructional video on how to tank for more ping pong balls.

Actually, there was a very similar, if not identical, score in the Finals between the Bulls and the Jazz. Can't remember which year.

You are right Ted -- I'm kind of surprised that you haven't found a way to wipe that off your hard drive.  It was game one, I believe and the Bulls held the Jazz to 54 points (I think that's still a record for a finals game -- so at least the Jazz managed to put something in the record books).

What's interesting is that I believe the lowest number of points scored (at least that I can remember) to date happened, I think, also involved the Chicago Bulls (after MJ retired and Pippen was traded).  They didn't score 50 points (49, I believe) and it was the Miami Heat who held them to that point total.

It was a big deal at the time -- all the Bulls haters enjoyed that one a great deal.

It wasn't the following season that the Bulls tanked, was it Ziggy?  Although that would explain why I remember it so well -- it was just GREAT to watch the Bulls lose for a change!  lol

No.  Jordan retired from the Bulls after the 98 title.
