I agree with Rut: my guess is that you can do that game very well in your sleep. But that doesn't mean that you feel good about your performance, and yes, I know exactly how you feel. I had a football game late in the season last year that, for whatever reason -- nerves, new location, something -- I just couldn't get myself into the game for the first quarter or so. I left my down indicator in the locker room and realized it during the first play, which probably psyched me out.
The key thing is to clear your mind as best as you can. Your game was probably fine, but you didn't think it was simply because you had things running through your mind. You were distracted for a large period of time, and that's what you remember. When you walk into a school or gym, simply put everything other than basketball and officiating out of your mind. You aren't going anywhere or doing anything else until you are done, so forget about it.
