In the Eastern Conference Finals, the Bulls then faced off against the 3rdâÂÂseeded Cleveland Cavaliers, who were led by the trio of All-Star center Brad Daugherty, All-Star guard Mark Price, and Larry Nance. After winning Game 1 at the Chicago Stadium, 103âÂÂ89, the Bulls suffered a 26-point home loss to the Cavaliers in Game 2, 107âÂÂ81. With the series tied at 2âÂÂ2, the Bulls won the next two games, including a Game 6 road win over the Cavaliers, 99âÂÂ94 at the Coliseum at Richfield to win the series in six games, and advance to the NBA Finals for the second consecutive year.

Player statistics citation:

This was the only year that both the Bulls and the Blackhawks reached their respective league's finals.
