The Cavs/Magic series was a lot of fun and the refs did really well in that one.

That's odd because one of the categories for the NBA Officiating Performance Standards that each officials EOY review consists of is:

1. Play calling

a. Makes accurate calls regardless of the
circumstances

b. Makes consistent calls from player to player
throughout the game & is NOT affected by
the HOME TEAM atmosphere
