Scott Foster, nemesis of Phoenix Suns' Chris Paul, to referee Game 6 of NBA Finals

MILWAUKEE -- As Chris Paul and the Phoenix Suns prepare for Game 6 of the NBA Finals Tuesday night, they do so knowing they'll see a very familiar face when the game begins.

Scott Foster, who has officiated 11 straight postseason losses in games Paul has played in, will be the crew chief for tonight's game, alongside fellow veteran referees Tony Brothers and Eric Lewis.

Paul is 2-15 overall in playoff games he has played in that Foster has refereed, and he has a contentious history with Foster, who is widely considered to be one of the league's best referees but also has a very public history with Paul, one of the league's biggest stars.
