The 1993 NBA Finals

Game 5: Chicago Bulls @ Phoenix Suns (1x5)

Uitzenddatum: Jun 18, 1993

Before Game 5, Charles Barkley told the press he had announced to his teammates that they needed to win to "Save the City", a reference to the riots anticipated in Chicago if the Bulls won the championship at home. Both Paul Westphal and Kevin Johnson later expressed amusement about Barkley taking credit for the line because Westphal had made a tongue-in-cheek comment to that effect in a pregame meeting.
