Mavericks owner Mark Cuban has been fined $25,000 by the NBA for publicly criticizing the officials after the team's loss to the Nuggets on Friday night.

Cuban made his complaints on the social-networking site Twitter.

The owner said in another posting Sunday that he "can't say no one makes money from twitter now. the nba does."

Cuban complained that Denver's J.R. Smith was not called for coming off the bench to taunt Antoine Wright after he missed a shot near the Nuggets bench.
