David Guthrie

During the 2019 NBA Finals between the Golden State Warriors and the Toronto Raptors, Warriors fans complained that the crew led by referee Marc Davis including Guthrie had an ax to grind with their team. They claimed that the Raptors were undefeated with the crew and that they had missed repeated easy calls against the Raptors and called the Warriors for more fouls. Also, during the 2013 Grizzlies-Clippers series, Tony Allen went down with a minor injury, he thought he was in the clear to simply rub his leg, then get back up. However, fell right into his backside, entertaining the crowd.

David Guthrie has refereed 14 seasons with 46 playoff games, including three Finals game. He reffed game 2 of the 2018 NBA Finals between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Golden State Warriors. Before joining the NBA, Guthrie officiated in the NBA G League, and the CBA.
