Mavs Coach Jason Kidd Fined $35K for Ripping Refs

  • On Monday, the NBA fined Dallas Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd $35,000 for public criticism and profane language after the 111-107 road loss to the Houston Rockets on Saturday.
  • Kidd publicly named officials Sean Wright, Simone Jelks and Jason Goldenberg, calling them 'awful tonight' over a missed foul on Cooper Flagg's late layup.
  • The NBA Last Two Minute report found the play to be a correct no-call, and Durant then assisted Tari Eason for a dunk with 14.4 seconds remaining.
  • Following the review, league officials imposed a fine assessed by James Jones, NBA executive vice president and head of basketball operations, after Kidd’s expletive-laced response overshadowed his officiating critique.
  • The Mavericks lost their fourth straight game on Saturday while rookie Cooper Flagg posted another big night, becoming the first teenager with consecutive 30-point double-doubles, scoring 34 points and 12 rebounds.
