The NBA on Saturday fined Rockets guard James Harden $25,000 for public criticism of officials after the Rockets loss to the Lakers on Thursday.
The league did not specify which comment drew the fine, but in addition to saying that lead official Scott Foster was “rude and arrogant” when approached during games, Harden said that he believed Foster has “personal” issues with the Rockets.

"Last year in the post-season, in the Western Conference Finals, I think he officiated a couple of our games," Harden said.
