The NBA has issued a $35,000 fine to Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker for his public criticism of officiating after Game 2 of their playoff series against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Booker had specifically named referee James Williams and alleged that an opposing player influenced the call. However, the league also rescinded the technical foul that was assessed to Booker during the game, deeming it "improperly assessed." While an investigation found no basis for claims of bias or misconduct by officials, the overturned technical acknowledges an officiating error. Booker, a five-time All-Star, continues to be a key player for the Suns, averaging 26.1 points in the regular season.
