Before the game

Spoiler-free context

Defending champion Boston entered the playoffs without Kevin Garnett, and young Chicago turned that vulnerability into a series of close finishes. The first five games included three overtimes and repeated late swings before the series returned to Chicago.

Boston led 3–2 and could close the series; Chicago needed a home win to survive.
The series had already included multiple overtimes, late threes and a breakout from rookie Derrick Rose.
