Before the game

Spoiler-free context

Houston's first championship bid had nearly ended when Phoenix took a 2–0 lead with two road wins, reviving the Rockets' reputation for postseason disappointment. Houston recovered to force a deciding game at home with Hakeem Olajuwon's MVP season still at stake.

The series was tied 3–3, making this Houston's second consecutive elimination game against Phoenix after the same matchup went seven in 1993.
The Rockets had never won a championship and were trying to turn a 58-win regular season into the franchise's first Finals run.
