NBA Live 97 (PS1) (Bulls vs Kings) (February 28th 1997)
After a disappointing loss against the Cavaliers, the Chicago Bulls head back home to the United Center in Chicago and await the arrival of the Sacramento Kings the next day. Maybe luck will be on their side this time. No wonder Mitch Richmond is the cover athlete of this game, even though I won, he outscored me without breaking a sweat.
