Indiana Pacers / Schedule
What’s interesting to note is that Indiana has not lost a game with James Capers as the referee.
Meanwhile, OKC is unbeaten when Sean Wright is officiating. Josh Tiven, on the other hand, has been tough for both teams—officiating 2 of OKC’s 7 losses and 3 of Indiana’s 7 losses this postseason.
These three referees have not worked together as a crew in any game this postseason. The only overlap came in Game 4 of the Finals, when Tiven and Wright officiated together.

James Capers (3-1)
