Official Report
James Capers - This is Capers second game with the Celtics in these playoffs. He called game 5 vs the Sixers and let them play both ways. He missed a few calls but it wasn't one sided. In the past he has been good in some and bad in some. He doesn't have a lot of controversy around him, however. His home W/L record this season is 49-17. He calls an average of 41.3 fouls per game with 48% of those calls on the home team.
Josh Tiven - Tiven called Game 7 vs the Bucks and did a decent job, letting them play and not calling it one sided. He lives in Connecticut and he has a twin brother who is a big Celtics fan and who has been shown in the crowd at the Garden when Tiven was officiating. His home W/L record this season is 34-29. As with most of the referees, on any given night he can be good or he can be very bad. Hopefully we get the good tonight.
Zach Zarba - This is Zarba's second playoff game with the Celtics. He called Game 5 vs Philadelphia with Capers.
