Knicks-76ers Game 6 Referee Assignment Sparks Major Fan Controversy

NBA fans are now convinced that there will be a Game 7 between the Philadelphia 76ers and New York Knicks.

Why?

On Thursday, the referee assignment for tonight's Knicks-76ers Game 6 was revealed by the NBA .

Scott Foster - better known by hoops fans as ' The Extender ' - will serve as the crew chief for the pivotal matchup

Known for being involved in a multitude of six- and seven-game NBA playoff series, Foster has certainly earned the 'Extender' nickname.

Another reason fans believe a Game 7 is looming - home teams have won 66.1 percent of games officiated by foster in 2023-24.

The Sixers are at home tonight down 3-2 in the series.

Can the Knicks close out the series tonight to prevent a Game 7?

Tipoff is set for 9:00 p.m. ET.
