Kings coach Mike Brown fined $35K for pursuing official

Sacramento Kings head coach Mike Brown was fined $35,000 by the NBA on Tuesday for aggressively pursuing a game official during live play.

The fine stems from Brown charging the refs after a foul was not called following Colby Jones' drive to the basket in the second quarter of the Kings' 108-103 loss to the visiting Brooklyn Nets on Sunday. Brown, instead, was assessed a technical foul.

Brown, 54, previously has been punished by the league for his conduct toward officials.

He was fined $50,000 on Jan. 16, two days after entering the court of play while yelling at referee Intae Hwang, leading to the coach's ejection in a 143-142 overtime loss at the Milwaukee Bucks.
