Before the game

Spoiler-free context

Boston and St. Louis met in the Finals for the third time in four years, with the rivalry split one championship apiece. The Celtics were trying to prove that their 1959 title was the beginning of sustained rule rather than a single repeat.

  • The series was tied 3–3 after alternating momentum across six games.
  • Bill Russell and Bob Pettit again represented the league's dominant defensive and scoring forces.
