The NBA sanctioned Rick Carlisle this Friday to pay $35,000 for his comments after the second game against the New York Knicks.
The Indiana Pacers coach announced that his team was going to present a formal complaint to the league for the officiating suffered during the first two games of the Eastern semifinals.

However, what the fine cost Carlisle was to insinuate that they were being harmed for being a small market against ‘the almighty Knicks’. “Small markets deserve equal treatment,” he noted.
Carlisle was ejected for a double technical during the game for protesting a review on some doubles.
