The NBA announced on Sunday that David Adelman will be fined $35,000 for his tirade in the Nuggets’ loss to the Rockets on Saturday afternoon. With 8:40 left in the fourth quarter, and Denver trailing by 17, Adelman became incensed with a no-call by the officials as Houston relentlessly hacked at Nikola Jokic.
Mid-play, Adelman marched toward a referee, shouting right in his face, “What the **** are you doing!?” Play was stopped, and Adelman was promptly ejected from the game. And now we find out that he’ll also be fined by the league.
