Boston Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla was fined $35,000 by the league for "aggressively pursuing and directing inappropriate language toward a game official," after Boston's 117-108 loss to the Chicago Bulls Thursday night.

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 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.
