The NBA has fined Mark Cuban $100,000 for confronting and "directing inappropriate language" at officials after the Dallas Mavericks loss to the Los Angeles Clippers, the league officially announced. Cuban walked onto the floor to criticize referees following the huge late-game collapse from the Mavericks and the league reviewed the postgame incident. The outspoken Mavericks owner once again took a financial hit.

The $100,000 fine is the 20th time Cuban has been disciplined by the league. Cuban has taken the fine in stride, however, and even announced he will be donating the sum of his fine to a charity.

Just love a passionate team owner. But he deserved the fine.

The Mav's had two games in the last week they got some benefit of the doubt calls in their favour within seconds of the game ending so cry me a river but kudos for pledging the same amount to charity. Totally makes any rant worth it in my book
