“When we went to Chicago for Game 3 of that series, Jordan shot 3 for 18, but we were ill-prepared to win that game,” said Van Gundy, who eventually served as New York’s head coach for seven seasons. “They beat us by 20, with Jordan shooting 3 for 18. That was our chance. If we had been right and ready that game to snatch that first win, we may well have gone up 3-0.”
