Following Wednesday night's LA Clippers vs. Philadelphia 76ers game, forward Kelly Oubre had words for the entire officiating crew. The NBA admitted in their Last Two Minute Report that Oubre was fouled by Paul George on the final play of the game, and Oubre also felt there was inconsistent officiating down the stretch outside of that play.

The NBA announced on Friday that Oubre has been fined $50,000 for his actions following Wednesday night's game, releasing a statement that read, "Philadelphia 76ers head coach Nick Nurse has been fined $50,000 for aggressively pursuing and verbally abusing game officials, and 76ers guard Kelly Oubre Jr. has been fined $50,000 for verbally abusing and directing an obscene gesture toward game officials, it was announced today by Joe Dumars, Executive Vice President, Head of Basketball Operations. The incident occurred at the conclusion of the 76ers' 108-107 loss to the LA Clippers on March 27 at Wells Fargo Center."

As stated in the announcement, 76ers head coach Nick Nurse was also fined $50,000, making it an expensive day for the 76ers. There were certainly a lot of controversial rulings down the stretch of this game on both sides, but it was the Clippers who came away with the win, and Philadelphia who came away upset.

The Clippers and 76ers will not play again in the regular season.
