NEW YORK (AP) Phil Jackson and the Los Angeles Lakers' organization were fined $50,000 each by the NBA on Thursday for comments the coach made about officiating following a loss to the Utah Jazz.

Jackson accused referee Bob Delaney of being prejudiced against Shaquille O'Neal following the 88-83 loss Monday night.

``We just felt it wasn't fair-square,'' Jackson said. ``It felt like we were going against eight people instead of five.''

The Lakers led 70-68 and O'Neal scooped up a loose ball and shook the rim on a one-handed dunk with 3:57 remaining. But he came down with an elbow on Andrei Kirilenko and was immediately tossed by Delaney.

O'Neal received a technical earlier in the quarter for taunting after a dunk.

``Bob Delaney's known to be very prejudiced against Shaquille. We know that, so we wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't a good call,'' Jackson said. ``But I'm not going to make a comment on that right now.''
