Cleveland Cavaliers Coach Kenny Atkinson Fined $50,000 by NBA for Outburst Towards Game Official

Cleveland Cavaliers coach Kenny Atkinson has been fined $50,000 by the NBA for his behavior towards a game official during a recent game. The incident occurred after Atkinson received his second technical foul and was ejected from the game against the Phoenix Suns. This outburst came as a result of a no-call on Suns guard Collin Gillespie, who was defending Sam Merrill on the court. The Cavaliers suffered a 126-113 loss to the Suns, ending their five-game winning streak. Cleveland will look to bounce back in their upcoming game against the Blazers on Sunday.
