Dallas Mavericks coach Jason Kidd has been fined $35,000 by the NBA for publicly criticizing officiating and using profanity during a media interview following the team’s 111-107 loss to the Houston Rockets. Kidd stated, “The referees did not do their job tonight. They were terrible,” during the postgame session. The fine reflects the league’s stance on maintaining respect for officials.
