NEW YORK -- Dallas Mavericks coach Jason Kidd was fined $25,000 for coming onto the court to confront a referee and directing inappropriate language toward him during a loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves, the NBA announced Wednesday.
Kidd was assessed two technical fouls and was ejected late in the third quarter of a 116-106 loss Monday when his short-handed team came unglued.
Dallas star Luka Doncic, the league's second-leading scorer, was whistled for consecutive technicals after teammate Reggie Bullock was called for a foul on Minnesota's Anthony Edwards.
