May 3, 1992 - In the dramatic conclusion of a knock-down, drag-out passing of the torch, New York Knicks forwards Xavier McDaniel and Charles Oakley teamed up to out-Dennis Rodman Dennis Rodman. McDaniel kicked things off with a nudge and some jawing. Oakley cleared the table with a solid early 90's playoff foul.
The 1991-92 season was the second year of the NBA's re-emphasis of the flagrant foul rule. Whereas the flagrant foul did technically exist prior to the 1990-91 season, it was a rarely utilized and lacked clarity. Following the Pistons' second championship, the league instituted a two-shots-and-possession consequence for potentially hazardous fouls.
In a win-or-go-home situation, the Knicks emerged 94-87 victors, eliminating the Detroit Pistons and moving on to face the Chicago Bulls.
