The NBA is handing down another punishment that has to do with officiating. Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards has been fined 40-thousand dollars by the league after comments he made about officiating following Monday's win over the Oklahoma City Thunder. Edwards called the game's referees "terrible" after he was upset with what he thought were several no-calls throughout the contest. The league said that Edwards was fined for repeatedly criticizing the officiating.
