Thunder's Patterson fined $10K for criticizing officials on Twitter

Warning: Story contains coarse language

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Patrick Patterson has been fined $10,000 for criticizing NBA officiating via Twitter, the league announced.

The offending tweet appeared Saturday:

The league concluded the context of that tweet was a shot at officials. The post came in the wake of the Thunder's 97-95 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks on Friday night, when Giannis Antetokounmpo clearly stepped out of bounds before the game-winning dunk.

The NBA's Last Two Minute Report on Sunday concluded officials missed the call, costing the Thunder the game. The league stated afterward the competition committee would consider increased video review at the end of games.
