Doug Collins was fined $15,000 for verbal abuse of an official during Saturday's overtime win against the Pacers.

Referee Zach Zarba was on the receiving end of Collins' anger.

"I don't ever want to get fined. I've been in the NBA for 40 years," Collins said. "It was sort of a buildup over a few things. It wasn't one thing, it was sort of a buildup. It was an emotional game, and we were able to win the game and stuff. I didn't leave the court in a timely fashion, and I should have been fined. The league did what they should have done, and I apologized."

DeMarcus Cousins has been fined $25,000 for his comments about referees and their treatment of Blake Griffin.

"He's babied," Cousins told SI.com. "He's the poster child of the league. He sells tickets, but he's babied. Bottom line."

Cousins was asked who babied Griffin.

"The refs, the league – period," Cousins said. "He gets away with (everything). He taunts players. Nothing is done. He's babied."

Blake Griffin was retroactively given a flagrant-one foul for his shove of Pau Gasol in Wednesday's game.

The Lakers had asked the NBA to take a closer examination of three plays from the game involving Griffin.

Andrew Bynum recently was fined an undisclosed amount for "numerous infractions," multiple sources confirmed.

Bynum recently blew off a meeting with Mitch Kupchak.

Bynum said he was unaware of the fine on Tuesday.

Bynum won't play in Tuesday's game due to a moderate sprain of his left ankle.
