Game 1 – For nearly three quarters, Chandler looked poised to spring the upset. The home club raced to a 13-point lead in the second quarter behind the scoring of Eddie Johnson and Bernard King, taking a 61-52 advantage into halftime. Then Terry Porter took over. The Oklahoma floor general orchestrated one of the finest second-half performances of the season, controlling the tempo while repeatedly finding open teammates and knocking down timely jumpers. Porter finished with 25 points and 11 assists, earning Game MVP honors as Oklahoma erased the deficit and pulled away for a 116-104 victory. Jeff Hornacek matched Porter’s brilliance with 26 points, hitting 3-of-4 from beyond the arc while consistently punishing Chandler’s defense in transition. The twin Grant forwards dominated inside. Horace Grant contributed 18 points, Harvey Grant added 16, and Dennis Rodman controlled the glass with 1​1 rebounds, helping Oklahoma outscore Chandler 64-43 after halftime. Chandler received outstanding efforts from Eddie Johnson (25 points) and Bernard King (24), but B​r​ad Daugherty struggled to find his rhythm, shooting just 3-for-13 from the field. The decisive stretch came midway through the fourth quarter. After the score was tied at 89, Oklahoma ripped off a commanding run fueled by Hornacek’s shooting, Rodman’s offensive rebounding, and Porter’s playmaking. The visitors eventually built a 14-point cushion before closing out the victory from the free-throw line.

Game 2 – Chandler tried different defenders, double teams and physical play. None of it mattered. Harvey Grant delivered a punishing performance inside and out, scoring 38 points and grabbing 12 rebounds as Oklahoma defeated Chandler, 116–106, to complete a two-game sweep at Chandler Square Garden. Grant shot 15-for-25 from the field and 8-for-10 at the foul line, repeatedly overpowering Chandler near the basket. Seven of his rebounds came on the offensive end, helping Oklahoma produce a decisive 20–10 advantage in second-chance points.
