Brown has been fined $50,000 for "aggressively pursuing a game official during live play and for publicly criticizing the officiating", the league announced.

The coach was irate after a no-call against De'Aaron Fox in the third quarter and got ejected for it. The Kings went on to lose in overtime. After the game, Brown brought a laptop to the press conference with him and showed the episodes that got him mad.

Brown mainly questioned the officiating consistency and different standards in calling the fouls.

"They take away two free throws, and then Milwaukee goes down and hits a three. To end the half at 19 to 5, that's tough to deal with, especially when you're getting told different interpretations on a rule. They call this foul again on Fox. He didn't push him. They said it was supposed to be incidental contact, they give him three free throws. Now watch this right here - Fox comes off a pick-and-roll, the kid Cam Payne hooks him, hooks his arm. Look at Fox's arm when he spins off of this - hooks his arm, he almost falls. No incidental contact, he hooks his arm and almost falls, and there's no foul. Look - he almost falls," the coach was irate.
