Before the game

Spoiler-free context

Shaquille O'Neal entered his 28th birthday in the middle of an MVP season, while the Lakers were separating from the league in Phil Jackson's first year. A nominal Clippers home game kept the celebration inside the building O'Neal already ruled.

  • O'Neal's previous career high was 53 points, and no Laker had produced a 60-point game since Jerry West.
  • Los Angeles was on its way to 67 wins, but O'Neal's free-throw struggles still shaped debate about how dominant he could become.
