Before the game

Spoiler-free context

Portland's Clyde Drexler had spent the season presented as Michael Jordan's closest positional rival. The Finals opened in Chicago with Jordan carrying that comparison—and with questions about whether his three-point shooting offered Portland a place to gamble.

  • Chicago was defending its first championship; Portland was back in the Finals for the second time in three years.
  • The Jordan–Drexler comparison gave Game 1 unusual individual legacy weight for an opening game.
