It took place on May 7, 1989, at <a href="/wiki/Richfield_Coliseum" title="Richfield Coliseum">Richfield Coliseum</a> in <a href="/wiki/Richfield_Township,_Summit_County,_Ohio" title="Richfield Township, Summit County, Ohio">Richfield Township</a>, <a href="/wiki/Ohio" title="Ohio">Ohio</a>, during the deciding Game 5 of the Eastern Conference First Round series between the Bulls and Cavaliers.<sup id="cite_ref-nba_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-nba-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> With the <a href="/wiki/Best-of-five" class="mw-redirect" title="Best-of-five">best-of-five</a> series tied at two games apiece and the Cavaliers leading the game by one point with three seconds left, Bulls player <a href="/wiki/Michael_Jordan" title="Michael Jordan">Michael Jordan</a> received an inbound pass and made a <a href="/wiki/Buzzer-beater" class="mw-redirect" title="Buzzer-beater">buzzer-beater</a> shot to give the Bulls a 101–100 win and clinch a series victory. The play capped off a final minute in which there were six lead changes. Jordan finished the game with 44 points. The Shot is considered to be one of his greatest <a href="/wiki/Clutch_(sports)" title="Clutch (sports)">clutch</a> moments, and the game itself is regarded as a classic.<sup id="cite_ref-nba_1-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-nba-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Following the First Round, the Bulls defeated the <a href="/wiki/1988%E2%80%9389_New_York_Knicks_season" title="1988–89 New York Knicks season">New York Knicks</a> in the Conference Semifinals in six games, but lost to the eventual champion <a href="/wiki/1988%E2%80%9389_Detroit_Pistons_season" title="1988–89 Detroit Pistons season">Detroit Pistons</a> in the Conference Finals in six games. </p><p>This series was a rematch of the <a href="/wiki/1988_NBA_playoffs" title="1988 NBA playoffs">previous season's Eastern Conference First Round series</a>, which the Bulls won 3–2. However, in 1989, Cleveland swept all six regular-season games against Chicago, including a 90–84 victory in the final regular-season game in which they rested their four best players (<a href="/wiki/Ron_Harper" title="Ron Harper">Ron Harper</a>, <a href="/wiki/Mark_Price" title="Mark Price">Mark Price</a>, <a href="/wiki/Brad_Daugherty_(basketball)" title="Brad Daugherty (basketball)">Brad Daugherty</a> and <a href="/wiki/Larry_Nance" title="Larry Nance">Larry Nance</a>). The Cavaliers were the third seed in the <a href="/wiki/Eastern_Conference_(NBA)" title="Eastern Conference (NBA)">Eastern Conference</a> and the Bulls were the sixth seed; this was a reversal of the previous year's playoff seeding, in which the Bulls were the third seed and the Cavaliers the sixth seed. Cleveland had a 57–25 regular season record, tied with the <a href="/wiki/1988%E2%80%9389_Los_Angeles_Lakers_season" title="1988–89 Los Angeles Lakers season">Los Angeles Lakers</a> for the second-best record in the league behind the <a href="/wiki/1988%E2%80%9389_Detroit_Pistons_season" title="1988–89 Detroit Pistons season">Detroit Pistons</a>. Chicago's regular season record that year was 47–35 which, although it placed them fifth in their division, was good enough for the sixth playoff seed in the conference. Given both these factors, the Bulls' playoff victory was considered a major upset. In retrospect, The Shot symbolized the beginning of the ascent of the Jordan-led Chicago Bulls. It was the first of many game-winning shots that Jordan made in his playoff career; on Game 4 of the <a href="/wiki/1993_NBA_Playoffs" class="mw-redirect" title="1993 NBA Playoffs">1993 Eastern Conference Semifinals</a>, Jordan made another series-winning buzzer-beater on the same end of the court in the same building, to give the Bulls their fourth playoff series win over the Cavaliers, this series being a four-game sweep. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="The_Play">The Play</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=The_Shot&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: The Play"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1257001546">.mw-parser-output .infobox-subbox{padding:0;border:none;margin:-3px;width:auto;min-width:100%;font-size:100%;clear:none;float:none;background-color:transparent}.mw-parser-output .infobox-3cols-child{margin:auto}.mw-parser-output .infobox .navbar{font-size:100%}@media screen{html.skin-theme-clientpref-night .mw-parser-output .infobox-full-data:not(.notheme)>div:not(.notheme)[style]{background:#1f1f23!important;color:#f8f9fa}}@media screen and (prefers-color-scheme:dark){html.skin-theme-clientpref-os .mw-parser-output .infobox-full-data:not(.notheme) div:not(.notheme){background:#1f1f23!important;color:#f8f9fa}}@media(min-width:640px){body.skin--responsive .mw-parser-output .infobox-table{display:table!important}body.skin--responsive .mw-parser-output .infobox-table>caption{display:table-caption!important}body.skin--responsive .mw-parser-output .infobox-table>tbody{display:table-row-group}body.skin--responsive .mw-parser-output .infobox-table tr{display:table-row!important}body.skin--responsive .mw-parser-output .infobox-table th,body.skin--responsive .mw-parser-output .infobox-table td{padding-left:inherit;padding-right:inherit}}</style><table class="infobox vevent"><caption class="infobox-title summary">Game 5 of the 1989 Eastern Conference First Round</caption><tbody><tr><td colspan="2" class="infobox-full-data"><table style="width:100%"> <tbody><tr> <th style=";
