Devin Booker Fined $35,000 for Public Criticism of NBA Officials

The NBA has fined Devin Booker $35,000 for publicly criticizing referee James Williams following the Suns' Game 2 loss to the Thunder. Booker, who received a technical foul during the game, labeled the officiating 'terrible' and compared the league to the WWE. The NBA found no basis for claims of bias or misconduct. The Suns hope the public comments will force a more balanced whistle in Saturday's Game 3 as they look to regroup amid rising locker room tension.
