During the 1990s, the Bulls won six championships in an eight-year period. However, each championship had its own set of hardships and challenges. On this day in 1992, the Bulls were down 15 points to the Portland Trailblazers in Game 6 of the NBA Finals. With things looking bleak for the Bulls, they mounted a comeback, scoring 33 points in the final quarter to win Game 6 and the NBA Finals. The win would be the Bulls second consecutive championship victory.
