NBA fines Clippers’ Jones $10,000 for bumping Green

The Los Angeles Clippers were greatly amused and a bit confused by the NBA's decision to fine Dahntay Jones $10,000 Monday for bumping Golden State's Draymond Green during a postgame interview. ''Some people like to draw attention to themselves and make themselves bigger than what it is,'' Jones said Monday night before the Clippers hosted Minnesota. ''I think it was more of him drawing attention to himself and wanting to be the reason someone else got fined.'' Jones said he will appeal the ruling, and Clippers coach Doc Rivers sarcastically disagreed with the NBA's decision to level a five-figure fine for the brief contact between the reserve guard and Green, who scored 23 points in the Warriors' 106-98 victory over their rivals in Oakland on Sunday.
