Mavericks Fined $100K for 'Bench Decorum' vs. Warriors; Postseason Fines Now at $175K

The Dallas Mavericks were fined $100,000 by the NBA for violating league rules.

The league office said that several players and a member of the coaching staff stood for an extended period in the Mavericks bench area, stood away from the team bench, and were on or encroaching upon the playing court in Friday's 126-118 victory.

The NBA has fined the Mavs a total of $175,000 over the course of the playoffs, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic and Stadium.

The Dallas Mavericks were fined $25,000 by the NBA for the same violation in their loss to the Phoenix Suns in the Western Conference semifinals.

The league is worried about the wrong thing, according to head coach Kidd. Millionaires are cheering on other millionaires. It doesn't happen in this society. The enthusiasm of the game, for a teammate to cheer on another teammate, is special.

The Mavericks were fined $50,000 following their series-clinching victory over the Suns.

The Mavericks players and coaches had a lot to celebrate in the first game of the series. Dallas led by as many as 19 points in the second quarter and went into the half with a lead.

The Warriors came back in the second half to take a 2-0 lead in the series.

Mark Cuban won't have to worry about writing more checks if the Mavs fail to advance to the NBA Finals.
