Before the game

Spoiler-free context

Sacramento's 61-win team had become the greatest threat to the two-time defending champion Lakers. After taking two of the first three games, the Kings entered Los Angeles with a chance to move one victory from ending the league's reigning dynasty.

  • Sacramento led 2–1 and could take a commanding series lead before returning home.
  • The matchup placed the Kings' egalitarian passing offense against the Shaquille O'Neal–Kobe Bryant core pursuing a third straight championship.
