2013 NBA Finals, Game 7: Referee assignments announced

The NBA has announced the team of officials that will preside over Game 7 of the NBA Finals on Thursday night.

USA TODAY Sports

The NBA has announced the referee assignments for Game 7 of the 2013 NBA Finals on Thursday night in Miami, and Danny Crawford, Scott Foster and Monty McCutchen will officiate the contest, with Tony Borthers serving as the alternate referee. Crawford will lead the crew on Thursday night as the Miami Heat and San Antonio Spurs battle for an NBA championship.

The Spurs are under pressure to recover from a collapse in Game 6, while LeBron James and the Heat finally have the opportunity to close out San Antonio and hand the Spurs their first Finals series loss. Despite some controversial calls down the stretch in Game 6, the officiating has been solid throughout the series and there haven't been any major issues in that regard.

Tip time for the winner-take-all Game 7 is set for 9 p.m. ET, and the contest will be broadcast on ABC. Stay tuned to SB Nation NBA for complete coverage of the game.
