Before the game

Spoiler-free context

The Lakers had won 67 games in Phil Jackson's first season but watched a 3–1 series lead disappear against veteran Portland. Another playoff collapse would have deepened doubts about whether Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant could win together.

  • The series was tied 3–3, with a Finals berth and the credibility of the Lakers' new core at stake.
  • Portland had recovered from a 3–1 series deficit and was one road victory from eliminating the West's top seed.
