The refs were decent overall. There was one inadvertent call where the ref called a technical for six players on the floor and then counted and there were only five. It happened with a shot in the air (not the best time to make this call, IMHO) and they counted the shot on the inadvertent whistle. I need to look this up and see if this is correct.

Yes, and they were correct.
