- Jazz were rested (Bulls 7 games in ECF)
- Jazz had home court
- Jazz wanted revenge
And Utah took game 1. They truly blew it in 1998

The team with the better record, home court advantage, higher point differential will almost never be an underdog.

Bulls were a solid favorite to win it. My uncle bet on this series (bet on the Lakers).

I was listening to Bill Simmons rewatchables Podcast and they were talking about game 3 from the series. I thought he said Lakers were favoured for the series but it must have just been for game 3.
