Kobe Bryant was fined $100,000 for directing “derogatory comments” toward a referee who had called a technical foul on the Los Angeles Lakers guard, the National Basketball Association said.

Bryant was given his 15th technical foul of the season for arguing after he got his fourth foul during a 102-93 win against the San Antonio Spurs at the Staples Center in Los Angeles on April 12.
