Steve Javie, one of the NBA's top referees and the crew chief at Tuesday's game, spoke to the players and coaches about plays and calls the officials have been instructed to emphasize this season, including an ongoing crackdown on traveling. Another emphasis: More leeway for big men to defend smaller players who drive to the basket. "They were talking about some stuff about the bigs not getting so many (foul) calls in the paint when we smalls drive into them," said Spurs guard Manu Ginobili, who has benefited from his share of foul calls when driving to the basket.
