Bull Reserves Take Title by Horns : Game 6: Along with Pippen, they go on a late 14-2 run that carries Chicago to a 97-93 victory.

OK, Mike, now it’s golf season.

Phil Jackson’s “unlikely event” was looking likelier by the minute until the Bulls’ second unit, an unlikely bunch themselves, wiped out most of a 15-point Trail Blazer lead in the fourth quarter.

Michael Jordan then returned to score 12 of his 33 points in the last 6:01 Sunday night as the Bulls won, 97-93, to take the series, 4-2, and become back-to-back NBA champions.

The Trail Blazers lost in the finals for the second time in three seasons. At least they don’t have to listen to any more Bull sneers, or anyone’s if they disconnect the TV, unplug the phone and cancel their newspaper and magazine subscriptions.

At this point, the Trail Blazers have only a few questions:

Bobby Hansen?

Stacey King?

B.J. Armstrong?

Scott Williams?

It was Hansen, the end-of-the-bench pickup from Sacramento, who made a three-pointer to start the fourth quarter and moments later stripped the ball from Jerome Kersey going up for a layup, starting the rally.

It was King, the former No. 1 draft pick whose girth grew as his playing time decreased, who scored five points in the next 2:03.

The reserves and the only regular, Scottie Pippen, went on a 14-2 run that cut the Trail Blazer lead to 81-78.

“We needed a defensive matchup, and that’s what we got from our young guys,” Jackson said. “They had the legs, and they had the energy.

“When you’re coaching and you run into a situation like that, you go out and play minute to minute because everything else I tried hadn’t worked.”

Was it his most daring move?

“Either daring or stupid,” Jackson said, laughing, “depending on how it comes out.”

The Trail Blazers won two games in the fourth quarter in this series and played magnificently in the first three periods Sunday. But they came apart in the last one, under the pressure amid the deafening din of Chicago Stadium.

Here’s how their possessions went during the 14-2 run:

Hansen strips Kersey of the ball going up for a layup.

Cliff Robinson makes a running seven-footer.

Robinson forces a 15-footer against the press and misses.

Clyde Drexler double-dribbles.

Buck Williams draws an offensive foul for moving on a screen.

Did they lose their poise?

“I don’t think so,” Trail Blazer Coach Rick Adelman said. “We played a hell of a game. I’m extremely proud of my team, It’s not always going to work.

“You can say that, I’m sure it will be said, but they (the Bulls) did a great job.”

At the end, certainly, but at the beginning, no.

By game time Sunday, Chicago was getting ready to party. Bull players were allowing themselves to be pulled into discussions of the celebration that was to come. A newspaper advised readers not to behave like citizens of Detroit. Jerry Krause, the Bulls’ general manager, was worrying out loud about the demands of the Olympic summer on Jordan and Pippen.

The Trail Blazers then let them know what a fine team they were up against.

Suddenly, Terry Porter, who took 29 shots in three games at Portland, was looking for his opportunities again.

His teammates were stepping up, too. They took a 14-point lead during the second quarter, saw the Bulls cut it to 50-44 at the half, then went ahead by 17 during the third quarter.

Enter the Bulls’ second unit.

Re-enter Jordan to help win it.

A desperate Pippen three-pointer to beat the shot clock went in with 5:20 to play, tying the score for the first time since the first quarter. The score was tied again at 87 and at 89 before Pippen made a 16-footer for a 91-89 lead with 2:20 to play.

The Trail Blazers never caught up.

After the game, the Bulls went back on the court to salute their fans. Jordan climbed on a press table, waving a bottle of champagne. He later came to the news conference, wearing a “Back to Back” cap, carrying the game ball and the champagne bottle. Last year he cried. This year he smiled hugely.

“I feel very joyous,” he said. “Last year I had seven years of frustration and drive and determination and motivation and it build up inside me and then I let it out at once. This year I only had one year, so I can hold it in.”

Said Jackson, angry no longer: “John Paxson turned to me after we went back on the floor and said, ‘What a long, strange trip it’s been.’ I don’t think he was mimicking the Grateful Dead. It was a long, strange trip. Last year was the honeymoon. This year was an odyssey.”

If Pippen and Jordan survive the summer, someone’s in trouble next year, too.

NBA Notes

Michael Jordan was the unanimous selection of all 11 media panelists for series most valuable player, his second in a row, to go with back-to-back regular-season MVPs. . . . Jordan on Scottie Pippen’s nine-point fourth quarter: “I’ve always had the confidence. In game situations, I don’t mind shooting the ball. But I was really happy to see Scottie show the confidence we knew he had. He could have taken a back seat, taken a dive and then you guys would have killed him from a media standpoint.”

Trail Blazer point guard Terry Porter put the blame for the loss on his own team. “We definitely gave it away. Definitely,” Porter said. “They did a good job, but a lot of it had to do with our turnovers in key situations. We didn’t get any calls, especially any close calls. We didn’t make any shots anytime we drove.”

Forward Cliff Robinson was more complimentary. “We did a good job for three quarters,” Robinson said. “But their bench came in and outplayed us. They did a good job moving the ball, getting shots and playing defense. We expected them to make runs here in their own building. We just didn’t do a good job responding.”

Earlier in the series, when the Trail Blazers had rallied from big deficits, Chicago coaches and players had angered Portland by saying the Bulls gave away those games, instead of noting the Trail Blazers’ efforts. Portland forward Buck Williams recalled that again Sunday. “I disapproved of the way they handled the series in terms of the derogatory remarks they made,” Williams said. “I’m tempted to use the words Chicago has been using the whole series and say we gave it away. But I’m not going to take the easy way out like they did. They deserve credit. They’re an arrogant team and I see why. They executed better than we did. They had control.”
