Before the game

Spoiler-free context

The Lakers were trying to avenge their 2008 Finals loss to Boston, while the Celtics sought a second title with their veteran core. Kendrick Perkins's knee injury removed Boston's starting center and made rebounding a central concern before the deciding game.

  • The series was tied 3–3, renewing the league's oldest rivalry in a winner-take-all Finals game.
  • Kobe Bryant was pursuing his fifth championship and first Finals victory over Boston.
