Greg Foster Had the Game of His Life in Game Three of the 1997 NBA Finals Karl Malone Runs Over Dennis Rodman during the 1997 NBA Finals (ViewImages) Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen Survived the 1997 NBA FinalsThe 1997 NBA Finals between the Utah Jazz and the Chicago Bulls is remembered for several key moments, including Karl Malone missing two late free throws and Michael Jordan nailing a winning jumper in the series opener, Jordan persevering through the flu with an epic performance in Game Five, and Steve Kerr hitting a free-throw line jumper to give the Bulls the title in the series-clinching sixth game. In the annals of the 1997 NBA Finals, a 104-93 Utah victory in Game Three doesn’t stir too many memories beyond the Jazz cutting a 2-0 series deficit in half. But for former Jazz big man Greg Foster, Game Three was a huge highlight in the journeyman’s career. Scoring a surprising 17 points off the bench in this game 12 years ago today, Foster got some sweet revenge against the Bulls, which released him in 1994, and helped the Jazz offset seven threes from Scottie Pippen in the victory. Continue on to examine Foster’s big game at the Delta Center, one of the toughest road venues for the Bulls in the NBA Finals.
