Portland, Ore. — Pistons coach Stan Van Gundy likely had made his mind up before addressing the media after Saturday night’s loss at Portland that he was going to blast the officiating.

That usually comes with a hefty fine — the only unknown was how much the fine would be.

Van Gundy found out Sunday.

The NBA announced a $15,000 fine for Van Gundy for publicly criticizing the officials.
