Phil Jackson was fined $25,000 by the NBA on Wednesday for comments he made about the referees working a game between the Lakers and Jazz over the weekend.

"The big key with Drew is they wouldn't let him play," Jackson said following the game.

Jackson called the matchup a "roughhouse game" and it was "one of those nights in Utah that you know you're going to get."

"The league throws out some referee corps that you're dubious about to start with and, you know, the game ends up to be like that," he said.
