I did not see the start of the Lakers-Spurs game, but according to the box score, the officials were: Blane Reichelt, Jack Nies, and Steve Javie. The names were in that order so I wonder if the order of the names corresponds to Crew Chief and Referee 1, and Referee 2, which is the NBA notation for R, U1, and U2.

Since I have friend who is an NBA official and two friends who are WNBA officials, I am not going to jump on the Bash Blane bad wagon because I do not know the man and I only saw the end of the game mentioned in the beginning of this thread and only bits and pieces of today's game, but I was suprised the Blane was again wearing pants that required a belt. It was like watching a game on ESPN Classic.

Let me add the following article on ESPN.com:
