Here's the whole story from ESPN

Griffin became the Jordan defensive specialist, playing 34 minutes and finishing with five fouls and four steals.

"I about wore him out," coach Don Nelson said. "I played him more in one game than I played him in a month. I did it because he had shut Jordan down in the first half. Whether it was him or the weather or whatever, I didn't want to take a chance on subbing. He called a couple of times -- he was so tired -- I said `No' and looked the other way, which a coach can do."
