As a sequel to "Lakers versus Celtics and the NBA Playoffs," the game capitalizes on the excitement of the NBA Playoffs, featuring the top 16 teams from the 1991-1992 NBA season. Players can choose to play single games or embark on the journey of the playoffs all the way to the NBA Finals. The game prominently features team-specific playbooks and player stats that reflect the abilities of real NBA stars from the era, such as Michael Jordan and Clyde Drexler, offering a personalized and realistic basketball experience.

The gameplay in "Bulls vs. Blazers and the NBA Playoffs" is noted for its strategic depth, allowing players to execute various real-life basketball tactics such as the pick and roll, box and one defense, and isolation plays. This installment introduced several new features, including instant replay and more sophisticated animations, enhancing the visual and tactical aspects of the game.
