Officiating was at the center of Game 1 of the Western Conference semifinals between the Houston Rockets and Golden State Warriors, and it already looks like it'll be a big storyline in Game 2. ESPN's Brian Windhorst reported on Tuesday morning that veteran referee Scott Foster has been assigned to officiate Game 2 between the Rockets and Warriors. The Rockets and Foster have a history. The last time Foster refereed a Rockets game, it was against the Los Angeles Lakers in February 2019, and both James Harden and Chris Paul fouled out in what ended up being a late-game loss for the Rockets.
