He finishes with 15 points in 28 minutes of a loss by the Washington Wizards to the 76ers in Philadelphia. Jordan receives several ovations through the game from the last sellout crowd that will ever watch him play. That includes nearly everyone in the arena giving Jordan a final lengthy standing ovation including coaches and the other players as he exits the game for good.
