Does this perceived excitment usually change how the players are playing the game? 99% of the time yes. Does this require the game to be called differently? 99% of the time yes. Does this cause an amatuer official/fanboy to think that the officals are calling the game differently? I think you know where I'm going with that one...
If one team gets on the bad end of a 10-0 run, usually it's because something in their game has changed. Maybe they're not playing good defense, not moving their feet, and fouling. Maybe one team is sitting back in a zone of defense and attacking the bucket on offense, therefore not fouling much and drawing a bunch of fouls on the other end. Maybe you're perceiving this as officials calling the game "differently," rather than just doing their jobs.
You're not looking at the big picture, and probably not quite educated enough (in regards to officiating, I'm sure you're a smart guy that your mother is proud of) to be running your mouth like you have been today...
