The Boston Celtics dropped an uncharacteristic game to the Chicago Bulls earlier in the week that saw head coach Joe Mazzulla and forward Jaylen Brown go off on the refs. Mazzulla was fined for his actions against the officials.

The NBA fined the Boston Celtics coach $35,000 on Saturday "for aggressively pursuing and directing inappropriate language toward a game official" at the end of his team's loss to the Chicago Bulls on Thursday night.

The NBA announced on Saturday that Mazzulla was fined $35,000 for "aggressively pursuing and directing inappropriate language toward a game official" after the Celtics lost 108-117 to the Chicago Bulls. Once the buzzer sounded, Mazzulla went straight to the ref and could be seen yelling and pointing in anger.
