The NBA penalized Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd $25 million for his criticism of officials.
Following the Mavericks’ 132-131 loss to the Lakers in Los Angeles on Tuesday, Jason Kidd was disciplined for his long tirade.
He was upset that in the fourth quarter, officials awarded the Lakers 23 free throws to the Mavericks just two.
The discrepancy in calls, according to Jason Kidd, was “outrageous,” and the NBA and the referees have to take responsibility for the incident.
