SAN FRANCISCO -- For the second time this postseason, the NBA has fined the Dallas Mavericks for violating rules regarding bench decorum.
The league office announced a $50,000 fine on Wednesday for violations that occurred during Sunday's 123-90 Game 7 rout of the Phoenix Suns at the Footprint Center.
A statement from the league office cited multiple occasions that several players and a member of the coaching staff "stood away from the team bench, and were on or encroaching upon the playing court" during the victory.
The Mavs were also fined $25,000 on May 6 for similar violations that occurred during their Game 2 loss to the Suns.
