The NBA has fined Los Angeles Clippers coach Tyronn Lue $35,000 following his comments over the officials in Wednesday's win over the Golden State Warriors.
Lue was shown on video claiming the officials were "cheating" in a game the Clippers won 130-125.
The Clippers coach was ejected during the fourth quarter, though LA still came back to win.
Lue was then videoed shouting to his players and staff: "Where the refs at now? Cheating. That's all they be doing."
On Friday, the NBA fined Lue for "public criticism of the officiating and for questioning the integrity of game officials."
