Just hazarding another guess, but I'm pretty much certain that the Spurs and Lakers will see either Eddie Rush or Bennett Salvatore as the lead official for Game 2. Honestly, I think it's most likely to be Rush, given that Salvatore just worked Game 6 of SA/NO.
Given 6 crew chiefs, 3 will have worked a conference finals game by the end of tonight (J. Crawford, D. Crawford, Javie). That leaves Bavetta, Rush, and Salvatore. Since Bavetta just worked Game 7 of the SA/NO series, I'm thinking his first conference finals game will be an ECF game. That leaves Rush and Salvatore.
