Evidence note (master store)

Bulls' second three-peat established by championship years: after the 1991 title, CHM lists five more championships in '92, '93, '96, '97, '98 — i.e., consecutive titles in 1996, 1997 and 1998 constitute the second three-peat, the 1998 title being the Bulls' sixth. Stored note 'Bulls titles 1996, 1997, 1998' confirmed at year granularity. Opponents (Seattle 1996; Utah 1997, 1998) NOT established by the fetched source and are not stamped here. OVERLAP FLAG: its 1998 leg is the series clinched by CTL-E-0018 (1998 Finals Game 6, currently UNVERIFIED at game granularity); stamped on its own merits, do not merge.
