Toronto Raptors coach Nick Nurse has been fined $15,000 by the NBA on Tuesday for public criticism of the officiating, which occurred after Sunday's loss to the Denver Nuggets.
Nurse directed his ire at officials for not calling fouls made against star Kawhi Leonard. He was particularly alarmed that Leonard had only four free throws in the 95-86 loss despite Leonard's work around the rim.
"Tonight was a very severe case of a guy who was playing great, taking it to the rim, and just absolutely getting held, grabbed, poked, slapped, hit and everything.
