Before the game

Spoiler-free context

St. Louis returned to the Finals one year after losing Game 7 in double overtime to Boston. Bill Russell's ankle injury had changed the rematch, giving Bob Pettit and the Hawks a chance to finish the defending champions at home.

St. Louis led 3–2 and could clinch the franchise's first championship.
The Hawks were trying to avenge the 1957 Game 7 loss against the same Celtics core.
