Before the game

Spoiler-free context

Portland had never reached the playoffs before Bill Walton led the franchise into the Finals. Philadelphia, loaded with individual talent, won the first two games before the Trail Blazers' passing and defense changed the series.

  • Portland led 3–2 after winning three straight and could clinch its first championship at home.
  • The matchup contrasted Walton's team-centered style with Julius Erving and Philadelphia's star power.
