Even though Paul is not playing, there is a very interesting stat about one of Game 2’s referees Scott Foster and Paul.

Chris Paul just repeatedly brought up the fact he's lost 11 playoff games in a row in which Scott Foster was refereeing. "If I was a betting man, 11 games in a row. ... 11 in a row is tough."
