The Lakers organisation was also fined $25,000, the day after a 120-101 loss to the Denver Nuggets that evened the series.

Jackson was angry with the free throw discrepancy, with Denver’s 49 attempts, 14 more than the Lakers. He also hit out at the Nuggets’ Dahntay Jones who apparently pulled off a dirty play to trip Kobe Bryant.
