Before the game

Spoiler-free context

Houston's first championship bid had nearly ended when Phoenix took a 2–0 lead with two road wins, reviving the Rockets' reputation for postseason disappointment. Houston recovered to force a deciding game at home with Hakeem Olajuwon's MVP season still at stake.

  • The series was tied 3–3, making this Houston's second consecutive elimination game against Phoenix after the same matchup went seven in 1993.
  • The Rockets had never won a championship and were trying to turn a 58-win regular season into the franchise's first Finals run.
