Through the first six games, four separate Crew Chiefs have worked the Western Conference Final, and 16 total officials have had a hand in it, not including alternates. Zach Zerba and Tony Brothers were the only repeat officials across that stretch.

Zerba headed Game 1 with John Goble as the referee and Mitchell Erwin as the umpire. That game went to overtime, and the Thunder were called for 26 personal fouls while the Spurs had 19.

Scott Foster led Game 4 with Curtis Blair and Nick Buchert on the officiating team, and the Thunder were tagged for 25 personal fouls while the Spurs had 20. Across the series, the Thunder have been on the higher foul end in three different games, and the team with more fouls in each game had not won through the first six contests.
