Houston Rockets star James Harden was fined $25,000 by the NBA for his criticism of the officiating after their 111-106 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers on Thursday night at the Staples Center, the league announced on Saturday. Harden fouled out late in the fourth quarter after scoring 30 points in the loss — extending his historic scoring streak to 32 games — but was extremely critical of referee Scott Foster. "Scott Foster … I never really talk about officiating, but he's just rude and arrogant," Harden said after the game.
