Adjust font size:

Los Angeles Lakers coach Phil Jackson was fined 25,000 U.S. dollars by the NBA on Tuesday for criticising referees after game 4 of the NBA Western Conference finals.

The Lakers organization was also fined 25,000 U.S. dollars, the day after a 120-101 loss to the Denver Nuggets that evened the series.

Jackson was angry with the free throw discrepancy, with Denver's 49 attempts, 14 more than the Lakers. He also hit out at the Nuggets' Dahntay Jones who apparently pulled off a dirty play to trip Kobe Bryant.

Game 5 is set on Wednesday in Los Angeles.
