The NBA has fined LA Clippers guard Patrick Beverley $25,000 for verbal abuse of an official during the team's Game 2 loss to the Denver Nuggets on Saturday.

Kiki VanDeWeghe, the league's executive vice president of basketball operations, made the announcement Monday.

The incident occurred when Beverley was ejected after picking up a pair of technical fouls late in the fourth quarter. Beverley was agitated after getting called for the first technical and motioned Clippers coach Doc Rivers to challenge. Beverley continued to complain and was called for a second technical.

The Western Conference second-round playoff series between the Clippers and Nuggets is tied 1-1 with Game 3 on Monday.
