Cavs head coach fined for public criticism of officiating
(AP) — Cleveland Cavaliers head coach J.B. Bickerstaff has been fined $15,000 by the NBA for his criticism of the officials in Sunday’s loss to the Philadelphia 76ers. Bickerstaff complained that the officials were inconsistent in their calls, sending the 76ers to the foul line 42 times compared to 31 for the Cavs. He was also upset that a foul wasn’t called on Sixers star Joel Embiid in the closing seconds of the game. Cavs guard Darius Garland was bumped on a layup with the Cavs down by a point. The NBA agreed with Bickerstaff and said Embiid should have been called for a foul.
