5. April 19, 1991 – 41 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists, 4 steals
On a mission to win his first title, Jordan ran into the Hornets in the penultimate game of the season. A team effort from Charlotte which saw no player score more than 17 points was undone by Jordan’s brilliance as he led the Bulls to a 115-99 win.
Jordan’s 41 points are the seventh-most he’s scored against the Hornets and one of 13 times he scored at least 35 points against Charlotte. He was his typical efficient self as well, going 15-of-22 from the field and 11-of-13 from the line.
