Donaghy claims two referees were "company men" whose job was to extend a playoff series in 2002 to a seventh game.</p> <p>The documents did not name the series, but the Lakers-Kings Western Conference finals was the only series in 2002 that went to a seventh game, with the Lakers winning both Game 6 and 7 to reach the NBA Finals.</p> </blockquote> <p>&nbsp;</p>
