The five starters come from each team’s saved NBA box-score order. Exact positions are omitted because this archive does not reliably provide them.
Portland had been swept out of the previous postseason and then lost starting center Jusuf Nurkić to a broken leg weeks before the playoffs. Oklahoma City, built around Russell Westbrook and Paul George, had swept the four-game regular-season series and entered as a popular upset pick—yet the Trail Blazers returned home one win from eliminating them.
