Houston Rockets v Golden State Warriors - Game Two

Emotions run high in the NBA playoffs, and it’s not just the players and coaches getting all riled up.

Houston Rockets owner Leslie Alexander, seen here yelling at a referee during last night’s game, was fined $100,000 by the NBA for confronting a referee during live game action, the league announced Wednesday.

Alexander, whose net worth is close to $2 billion, shouldn’t have any trouble paying the fine.
