Before the game

Spoiler-free context

Boston had rebuilt from a 24-win season by adding Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen, then reached the Finals against the rival Lakers. Game 4 offered Los Angeles a chance to level the series before it returned to Boston and offered the Celtics a chance to seize commanding control.

  • Boston led 2–1, while Los Angeles could tie the Finals before the series returned to Boston.
  • The Celtics were pursuing their first championship since 1986; Kobe Bryant was seeking his first title without Shaquille O'Neal.
