Cavaliers coach Tyronn Lue was fined $25,000 by the NBA for public criticism of officiating after Game 4.

ESPN's Brian Windhorst reported the fine stemmed from comments Lue made in the post-game conference about the way LeBron is officiated. 

"He never gets calls," Lue said after the game Friday. "I mean, he attacks. He's one of the most—outside of Russell Westbrook, he's one of the guys that attacks the paint every single play. And he doesn't get a fair whistle all the time because of his strength and because of his power and guys bounce off of him. But those are still fouls and we weren't able to get them. But we've got to play through officiating."
