Los Angeles Clippers coach Ty Lue has been hit with a hefty $35,000 fine by the NBA after his outburst against the referees during a recent game against the Golden State Warriors. Lue’s heated comments came during a tense matchup that saw the Clippers stage a dramatic comeback to secure a victory over the Warriors.
During the game, Ty Lue was seen directing his frustration towards referee James Williams, accusing the officials of “cheating.” The situation escalated when Lue received two technical fouls, resulting in his ejection from the game. Despite the altercation, the Clippers managed to rally in the fourth quarter and clinch the win, with star players James Harden and Paul George leading the charge.
“Where the refs at now? Cheating ass that’s all they’ve been doing”

The victory marked the Clippers’ third win out of four games against the Warriors this season, further solidifying their position as a top contender in the Western Conference. Currently sitting third in the West, the Clippers are gearing up to face the Oklahoma City Thunder after the All-Star Break.
Meanwhile, another incident from the same game has sparked debate among fans. A clip showing Golden State’s Draymond Green making a gesture towards an unidentified individual has caught the attention of basketball enthusiasts. Some viewers interpreted Green’s actions as a threat, suggesting that he was signaling a shanking motion. However, others have speculated that Green was simply flaunting his four championship rings.
Despite the controversy surrounding Green’s gesture, his performance on the court remained solid, contributing nine points, 10 rebounds, and four assists in the Warriors’ narrow loss to the Clippers. With the defeat, the Warriors’ record fell to .500, placing them in 10th position in the Western Conference standings.
Looking ahead, the Warriors are set to face the Utah Jazz in their next game, followed by a three-game homestand against the Los Angeles Lakers, Charlotte Hornets, and Denver Nuggets. As the NBA season progresses, both the Clippers and the Warriors will continue to be teams to watch, with their performances on and off the court keeping fans engaged and intrigued.
