Warriors’ Steve Kerr makes bold comparison between these Rockets and the 1997 team that faced the Bulls

On May 25, 1997 in the WCF against the Utah Jazz Eddie Johnson one of the most memorable game winners in Rockets history. Starting off the series 0-2 against the Jazz, this gamewinner by a 38 year old Eddie Johnson tied the series up at 2 games a piece. Rockets eventually lose the next 2 games and game 6, John Stockton hit that historic shot on us at home that advanced the Jazz to the NBA Finals. Losing this series still hurts because it would've meant a DREAM mactchup between Olajuwon and Jorda
