Saru's interference was slightly delayed, but it still constituted interference.
Plus, Dumars was already experiencing fluctuations in his shooting due to fatigue, and the basket did not go in.
Under the conditions of extreme physical exhaustion, it wasn't just Michael Jordan who had a bad shooting percentage on the Bulls team; their offense was stagnant.
Previously, they could rely on Jordan to support them. But now that Roger was defending Jordan, their last point of support had completely disappeared.
Cage grabbed the rebound, and after Magic attacked, Roger, who had just finished torturing Jordan, caused Rodman to commit a foul with another drive.
Phil Jackson could only feel despair; even after Roger clung to Jordan and harassed him physically, he still had the energy to break through on the offensive end!
Roger was also tired, but not to the extent of Jordan and Harper, who were completely out of gas.
