NBA fines Jaylen Brown for criticising officiating on livestream

  • The league imposed a $50,000 penalty after the Boston Celtics star made the remarks on Twitch a day after Philadelphia eliminated Boston in Game 7.
  • Brown said officials had an "agenda" to call offensive fouls on him throughout the series and claimed some referees told him he was being targeted.
  • It was Brown's second officiating-related fine this season after a $35,000 penalty in January, following Boston's collapse from a 3-1 series lead.
