Before the game

Spoiler-free context

Sacramento had pushed the two-time champion Lakers to the edge in a series still shadowed by the officiating controversy of Game 6. The Kings returned home with the league's best regular-season record and their best chance to end Los Angeles's reign.

  • The series was tied 3–3, with the Western champion widely expected to win the Finals.
  • Sacramento had never reached the NBA Finals and was trying to complete the franchise's rise around Chris Webber.
