Evidence note (master store)

Chicago Bulls won their first NBA championship on June 12, 1991 ('thirty years ago today' from the June 12, 2021 article), defeating the Los Angeles Lakers 108-101 in Game 5 to win the Finals series in five games (4-1); head coach Phil Jackson. Stored year 1991 and note 'First Bulls NBA title' confirmed. OVERLAP FLAG: this championship is also the first leg of CTL-E-0084 'Bulls first three-peat' — stamped on its own merits, do not merge.
