The Bulls won the game 75-68 to lead the series 2-0.

Legendary forward Dennis Rodman chimed in about the beef between his former Chicago Bulls teammates, Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen.

In contrast to the current situation, the rebounding machine stated that he never witnessed any conflicts between the iconic pair during their playing days. 

Rodman added that they spent much time together on and off the basketball court, engaging in golfing and traveling. 

Despite the current situation, the 62-year-old believes they could mend their friendship.

"It's just a lot of things that's happened over the last couple of years. So, I think Scottie's a little bitter and Michael's more laid back and say, 'Okay, like whatever,' but they're gonna work it out," the five-time NBA champion said.

Jordan and Pippen are considered one of the greatest duos in NBA history, winning six championships with the Chicago Bulls in the 1990s.

Why did Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen fight?

The tension between the duo started when Pippen voiced his dissatisfaction with "The Last Dance" documentary, released in 2020.

The seven-time All-Star claimed that the series' production, overseen by Jordan, failed to acknowledge the contributions of his fellow teammates during the Bulls' era of dominance, instead focusing too heavily on Jordan's narrative. 

In 2022, Larsa, the former wife of Pippen, began a romantic relationship with Marcus Jordan, the second-eldest son of Michael. 

A few months ago, Pippen called Jordan "a horrible player," declaring that LeBron James is the GOAT.
