加利福尼亚州英格尔伍德 - 3月13日：2026年3月13日，在加利福尼亚州英格尔伍德的直觉穹顶球馆，NBA裁判扎克·扎尔巴 (Zach Zarba) #15在芝加哥公牛队与洛杉矶快船队的上半场比赛中执裁。
作为一名有着21个赛季执裁经验的NBA裁判，扎尔巴将2013年NBA总决赛第三场视为他职业生涯中最难忘的一次执法经历。
那是扎尔巴职业生涯首次执法总决赛。当时他在圣安东尼奥，见证了马刺队狂轰创总决赛纪录的16记三分球，以113-77大胜热火队。丹尼·格林 (Danny Green) 在外线飙中7记三分，加里·尼尔 (Gary Neal) 替补登场贡献6记三分，圣安东尼奥人成功限制住了迈阿密由勒布朗·詹姆斯 (LeBron James)、德维恩·韦德 (Dwayne Wade) 和克里斯·波什 (Chris Bosh) 组成的三巨头。
马刺队希望扎尔巴能在他的第13场总决赛执裁中为球队带来更多好运。NBA已选派他担任第四场对阵尼克斯队的主裁判（Crew Chief），比赛将于周一晚上7:30在麦迪逊广场花园球馆打响。
在常规赛中，扎尔巴也堪称马刺队的“福星”——在由他执裁的比赛中，马刺队取得了55胜31负（胜率64.0%）的战绩，高居全联盟所有球队之首。在季后赛中，马刺在扎尔巴执法的场次中也取得了10胜7负（胜率58.8%）的战绩；相比之下，纽约尼克斯队在扎尔巴执裁时，常规赛战绩仅为42胜56负（胜率42.9%），季后赛战绩为5胜7负（胜率41.7%）。
根据数据网站 NBAstuffer 的统计，在今年执法的13场季后赛中，扎尔巴场均吹罚41.8次犯规，在全部41名季后赛裁判中犯规吹罚频率排在倒数前十（即吹罚尺度相对宽松）。
另外两名裁判成员将是第一副裁判（Referee）詹姆斯·威廉姆斯 (James Williams) 和第二副裁判（Umpire）考特尼·柯克兰 (Courtney Kirkland)。
今年是威廉姆斯执裁的第14个赛季，这将 war 他执法的第五场NBA总决赛。根据 NBAstuffer 的数据，在本赛季执法的5场季后赛中，威廉姆斯所在的裁判组场均仅吹罚38次犯规，在所有执法过多场季后赛的裁判中是最少的。
在常规赛执法的39场比赛中，他所在裁判组的场均犯规吹罚数为38.8次，低于联盟平均水平；而在他担任主裁判的25场比赛中，场均吹罚数更是低至37.4次，位列所有裁判的倒数前十。
在常规赛他担任主裁判的比赛中，主队胜率高达72%，在执裁超过5场比赛的108名裁判中排名第六。
在威廉姆斯执法的季后赛中，马刺队的战绩为4胜1负，而尼克斯队的战绩为5胜1负。
迎来职业生涯第24个赛季的柯克兰，也将迎来他执法的第五场总决赛。
在常规赛中，没有任何一支球队在柯克兰执裁时的胜率能超过马刺队——马刺在由他执法的比赛中取得了78胜33负（胜率70.3%）的战绩。不过，在柯克兰执法的季后赛中，马刺队的战绩仅为1胜2负。
在柯克兰的职业生涯中，他执法的季后赛主队胜率为62.5%，其中今年更是达到了7胜1负。不过根据 NBAstuffer 的数据，尽管2026年的胜率差距如此悬殊，但在这些比赛中，针对客队的犯规判罚比例仅为50.8%。
据NBA官方介绍，NBA裁判运营管理团队是“根据整个赛季评估的关键标准”来选拔总决赛裁判的，这些标准包括：“NBA裁判运营部门的评分与排名、判罚准确率以及球队反馈评级。”

Who are the officials for Game 4 of the NBA Finals?
INGLEWOOD, CALIFORNIA - MARCH 13: NBA referee Zach Zarba #15 looks on during the first half between the Chicago Bulls and the Los Angeles Clippers at Intuit Dome on March 13, 2026 in Inglewood, California.
Now in his 21st season as an NBA official, Zach Zarba lists Game 3 of the 2013 NBA Finals as his most memorable assignment.
Working an NBA Finals game for the first time in his career, Zarba was in San Antonio as the Spurs rained in a Finals record 16 3-pointers in a 113-77 rout of the Heat. Danny Green knocked down seven shots from beyond the arc, Gary Neal added six 3-pointers off the bench, and San Antonio contained Miami’s high-powered trio of LeBron James, Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh.
The Spurs hope Zarba brings more good fortune in his 13th NBA Finals game, as the NBA has selected him as the crew chief for Game 4 against the Knicks at 7:30 p.m. Monday in Madison Square Garden.
Zarba has also been kind to San Antonio during the regular season, as the Spurs’ 55-31 (.640) record in games he calls is the best of any team. San Antonio is also 10-7 (.588) in the playoffs under Zarba’s watch, while New York is 42-56 (.429) in the regular season and 5-7 in the postseason (.417).
In 13 playoff games this year, Zarba has averaged 41.8 foul calls per game, ranking in the bottom 10 of 41 playoff officials, per NBAstuffer.
Zarba will be joined by referee James Williams and umpire Courtney Kirkland.
In his 14th season, Williams will be working his fifth NBA Finals game. In five playoff games on the officiating crew this season, Williams has averaged 38 foul calls per game, the fewest of any official with multiple playoff games, per NBAstuffer.
In 39 games on the crew during the regular season, his games finished below average at 38.8 fouls per game, and in 25 games as chief, his games ranked in the bottom 10 at 37.4 calls per game.
Home teams won 72% of games with him as the crew chief during the regular season, ranking sixth out of 108 officials with more than five games.
The Spurs are 4-1 in the playoffs under Williams’ watch, while the Knicks are 5-1.
Kirkland, in his 24th season, will be calling his fifth finals game.
No team in the regular season has a better record than the Spurs’ 78-33 (.703) in games Kirkland officiates, but San Antonio is just 1-2 in the playoffs with him on the call.
Home teams win 62.5% of playoff games under Kirkland’s watch in his career, including a 7-1 mark this year. But despite the discrepancy in 2026, only 50.8% of fouls have been called against away teams in those games, per NBAstuffer.
Per the NBA, the NBA Referee Operations management team selects Finals officials “based on key criteria assessed throughout the season: NBA Referee Operations grades and rankings, play-calling accuracy and team ratings.”
