Many people are puzzled at blatant referee favoritism in some playoff games. We need to remember that NBA basketball is more "show business" than a true sport, and the referees are part of the show.
As much as possible, they are supposed to keep the games exciting but avoid fouling out the big-name stars people pay to see. No attendance, no games, no referees.
