Before the game

Spoiler-free context

Boston returned home one win from the title, while Milwaukee needed to survive without home court despite Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Oscar Robertson. The matchup placed the Celtics' balanced veteran core against the league's most unstoppable signature shot.

  • Boston led 3–2, leaving Milwaukee one loss from elimination.
  • The Bucks were trying to extend Robertson's final season and force the Finals back to Milwaukee.
