1992 Heat was no match for Jordan and the Bulls, so MJ looks for ways to have some fun. Schools Glen Rice, Grant Long and others, jokes with Steve Smith and even demonstrates the Ali shuffle. This is a great game to show how he can switch between different modes at will.
After his 46/11/9 Game 1 performance, MJ wants to involve the others on the offensive end and dominate the game with his rebounding and passing. After a half in which he takes limited shots he has 17pts/8rbs/5asts/3stls.
In the 3rd quarter he switches to the scoring mode and pours 14 points to make it a ~30 point Bulls lead at the end of 3rd. Plays only about a minute in the 4th, takes just one shot, then sits down to watch the reserves.
Finishes with 33pts(12-23)/13rbs/6asts/3stls. I guess not bad for a playoff game in almost 3 quarters of play.
Pippen has a great first half in this game too. This is also Magic's first experience as an announcer.

Post game notes & quotes:
===========================
CHICAGO- Michael Jordan's determination doesn't fade even in the face of what should be an easy opening round playoff opponent.
"I never get bored. I'm enjoying myself," said Jordan, who continued his playoff rampage with 33 points and 13 rebounds as the Chicago Bulls left the Miami Heat within a loss of elimination from their first postseason with a 120-90 victory Sunday.
Jordan, who scored 46 points in the Chicago's Game 1 victory Friday night, was backed Sunday by Scottie Pippen's 30 points. The defending NBA champions can oust the Heat, the only of the league's most recent expansion teams ever to qualify for the playoffs, with a victory Wednesday night at Miami.
The Bulls' 10 first-half steals also represented a franchise playoff record. The Heat scored 41 points in the first half, 12 fewer than it scored in the first two quarters Friday. Jordan and Pippen combined for 37 points by halftime.
"Pippen was sensational, and Michael, well, you can say the same things about him all the time," Heat coach Kevin Loughery said. "Just put the quotes on the board. He's the greatest player in the world."
Loughery said Jordan and Pippen are the best tandem in the NBA.
"Me and Jordan would be, too," Loughery joked. "Not to take anything away from Pippen because he's a great player. I can't think of a better combination."
Together, they put the early pressure on the Heat offensively and defensively, and it never was much of a game.
"We pretty much settled down from Friday's game," Jordan said. "This was the kind of effort we needed from everybody. We wanted to dominate, that's what you have to do in the playoffs."
Every Bulls player scored. Stacey King, the only member of the Bulls who didn't play in Game 1, got just seven minutes but was the team's third-leading scorer with 12 points, including a three-pointer that ended the game.
Cliff Levingston added 11 points off the bench on 5-of-7 shooting.
Heat players sounded flattered the Bulls took them seriously enough to send their very best.
"They showed us respect by coming out and playing strong from the start," Seikaly said. "I'm not embarrassed, but the Bulls definitely came out and showed us what the playoffs are all about."
And what the Bulls are all about.
"Everybody was pretty much energized to play them today," Jordan said. "Horace and Scottie were very emotional before the game. They said: `Let's go out and blow these guys out. Let's go out and show these guys we're the champions.' "
