The 2026 NBA Finals head to New York on Monday evening, as the Knicks host the Spurs for Game 3.
The stage is set for the first NBA Finals game at MSG in almost three decades, and the officials have been revealed for the anticipated game.
Which refs are officiating Game 3 of the NBA Finals?
According to NBA.com, Game 3 will be officiated by Marc Davis, John Goble and Curtis Blair.
These are the following positions for each referee:
Marc Davis - Crew Chief
John Goble - Referee
Curtis Blair - Umpire
Nick Buchert - Alternate
Here are some stats from games each ref has been a part of this postseason.
Referee # of games officiated Home team win % Fouls per game Foul % called on road team Foul % called on home team
Marc Davis (Chief) 13 0.462 42.3 0.500 0.500
John Goble (Chief) 8 0.625 45.1 0.521 0.479
John Goble (Crew) 2 0.000 39.5 0.468 0.532
Curtis Blair (Crew) 9 0.667 44.3 0.527 0.474
There seems to be a good mix of referees here. Marc Davis has statistically called a pretty even game in the postseason this year, which is good since he's the crew chief.
There may be a slight advantage for the home team (Knicks) in the eyes of these stats, but overall, this is about as neutral a crew you can get.
