NBA referees have taken a lot of heat during the playoffs this year. The low point for the officials came during the Thunder's victory over the Spurs in Game 2 of the second round, where there were five missed calls in the final 13.5 seconds.

But the officials ended the season on a high note Sunday night, producing a clean last-2-minute report from the league. The crew of Danny Crawford, Mike Callahan and Monty McCutchen were perfect during the 18 situations where an infraction was either committed or could have been committed by either team.

So for those who thought LeBron James' block on Andre Iguodala's layup attempt could have been goaltending, the league doesn't agree.

The Cavs and Warriors produced a thrilling Game 7 that wasn't marred by a controversial call that could have determined the outcome.
