Warriors' Steve Kerr fined $25K for outburst against officials

Warriors coach Steve Kerr has been fined $25,000 by the NBA for "verbally abusing and confronting" a game official during Wednesday night's 129-107 loss to the Portland Trail Blazers.

Kiki VanDeWeghe, the NBA's executive vice president of basketball operations, announced the fine Thursday.

Kerr was ejected after arguing with official Kenny Mauer when a Draymond Green common foul was upgraded to a flagrant foul 1 late in the fourth quarter.

The play in question occurred with 3 minutes, 54 seconds left in regulation and the Warriors trailing 110-103. Green fouled Blazers big man Zach Collins as he was going up to the rim.
