In the 1978 season, (Lionel) Hollins twice beat the Bulls in heartbreaking fashion, including playing a key role in what is widely considered the best Blazers comeback ever.
Trailing the Bulls by four points at Memorial Coliseum, Portland scored with 16 seconds left to cut the lead to two and set the stage for Hollins.
After a timeout, Chicago inbounded at halfcourt, where Hall of Famer Norm Van Lier inbounded. Hollins stepped in front of his pass and raced down the court for a dunk to tie the game with seven seconds left. After another inbound at halfcourt, Bobby Gross tipped Van Lier's pass to Dave Twardzik, who fed Hollins for a game-winning layin with two seconds left.
"Besides winning the championship, that game versus Chicago when we came back and won, that is my best memory," Hollins said.
