NEW YORK: The NBA fined Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart $15,000 on Friday (Saturday in Manila) for publicly criticizing the officiating in Boston’s 108-87 victory over the Hornets in Charlotte. Even after the win Smart was disgruntled, saying he didn’t understand the calls the referees were making. “Really, just, I wish they would call the game the right way,” Smart said after scoring six points off the bench for the Celtics with two rebounds and five assists. “A lot of calls that they called, I didn’t understand where the fouls were. “So if that means I’ve got to lose a little bit of money, then I’ve got to lose a bit.”AFP
