NEW YORK -- Los Angeles Clippers coach Doc Rivers was fined $15,000 by the NBA on Thursday for verbally abusing a game official and failing to leave the court in a timely manner after his ejection.The incident happened with 18.6 seconds remaining in the first overtime of the Clippers 127-122 double-overtime loss at Brooklyn on Tuesday night.?Rivers was given a technical foul for crossing over midcourt, then another and ejected.Obviously, I should have gotten fined, just from the actions afterwards, Rivers said before Thursday nights game at Cleveland. I had no problem with that at all. Im good with it. I never read why they fined me. Im completely in the dark. I just knew I got fined.They called me and said 15 [thousand] and before they said anything else, I said, Hey, thank you, no problem, Rivers added. I honestly dont even know what they actually said. Im good with it. I thought I needed to show something in that instance, probably not as much, but its over with and weve got to get back to ball, playing good basketball would be nice.The Clippers trailed by two late in the first OT and fouled Nets rookie Isaiah Whitehead in the backcourt after he received the inbounds pass. Rivers appeared to think Whitehead swung his elbows and should have been called for the foul, and the coach walked nearly to the Nets bench to say something to referee Lauren Holtkamp.Rivers said they werent even arguing, and that Holtkamp had agreed with what Rivers said. But referee Ken Mauer, who was standing on the Clippers side of the court, called what Rivers said was an awful tech.Information from The Associated Press and ESPNs Dave McMenamin was used in this report.

The Pirates entered Sundays game with a 9-47 record at Miller Park since 2007. A 5-4 victory gave Pittsburgh its first series win against the Brewers in Milwaukee since June of last year. The Pirates took two of three in the weekend set. "We are getting a little bit better," Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said. "We did some good things today, and we probably complicated the game for ourselves a couple different times as well. But we were able to play through it. We got on top and we stayed on top. It was a good way to finish the series and to win the series." Wandy Rodriguez won his fourth consecutive start, Pedro Alvarez had a two-run double and the Pirates built an early four-run lead before holding off the Brewers. The Pirates have won 13 of 15 and are a season high 12 games over .500. Rodriguez (6-2) gave up three earned runs on seven hits in five innings to earn the victory. He struck out four and didnt walk a batter. Jason Grilli pitched a scoreless ninth for his major league-leading 20th save. Hurdle said Rodriguez struggled with his command throughout most of the game but managed to preserve a lead. "It wasnt his best stuff," Hurdle said. "The only easy inning he had was the first. We had a chance to get out of the fifth inning with him not giving up any runs, but that didnt happen. It was a battle out there today for us. (Rodriguez) wasnt sharp but he got the job done. We will take that and move on." Strong pitching and timely hitting have fueled the Pirates recent run of success. "Weve been doing a really good job together as a team," Rodriguez said through a translator. Pittsburgh got to Milwaukee starter Yovani Gallardo for a run in the second on Jordy Mercers two-out triple, which scored Michael McKenry, who walked. Pittsburgh extended the lead in the third. Starling Marte led off with a double and later scored on a sacrifice fly by Garrrett Jones.dddddddddddd A two-out double by Alvarez plated two more runs, giving Pittsburgh a 4-0 lead. Gallardo (3-5) laboured through just four innings. He gave up four earned runs and five hits while striking out seven and walking two. "Its definitely frustrating. I dont know how to explain it, really," Gallardo said. "Its just one of those weird days. You go out there and have pretty good command of all of your pitches but obviously the results arent there." Gallardo threw 94 pitches over four innings. "There were a lot of pitches," Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said. "But I thought his stuff was good. Good live fastball. I thought he was down in the zone with it, but he threw a lot of pitches. They fouled a lot of balls off. Its just surprising when I think he has good stuff and he struggles to get through four innings." The Brewers rallied in the fifth. Rickie Weeks had a lead-off single. After Rodriguez retired the next two batters, Norichika Aoki singled up the middle and Jean Segura reached on an infield hit, loading the bases. Ryan Braun followed with a three-run double, cutting the Pirates lead to 4-3. The Pirates added a run in the sixth on Martes sacrifice fly. Milwaukee again cut the lead to a single run in the eighth when Jeff Bianchi belted a one-out triple and scored on a Carlos Gomezs sacrifice fly. Mercer had three hits and a stolen base for the Pirates. Notes: The Brewers on Sunday selected the contract of right-handed pitcher Donovan Hand from Triple-A Nashville. Hand pitched two innings in his major league debut. Hand filled the roster spot of closer Jim Henderson, who was placed on the 15-day disabled list Saturday with a right hamstring strain. Hands parents and brother drove from Alabama to attend the game. "My dad has dreamed of this for all his life. He wouldnt miss it for the world." .
