    In a series of tweets, Los Angeles Clippers forward Matt Barnes apologized for his actions Wednesday night, including for tweeting that he wouldn't stand up for his teammates anymore.

    Those actions cost Barnes $25,000 on Thursday as the NBA fined him for failing to leave the court in a timely manner and using inappropriate language on Twitter.

    Barnes and Oklahoma City Thunder forward Serge Ibaka were ejected with 6.2 seconds left in the second quarter after Ibaka and Clippers forward Blake Griffin got tangled up as Griffin tried to put up a shot. It looked like Ibaka had pushed Griffin, and Barnes shoved Ibaka hard in the chest. Players from both teams had to restrain Barnes and Ibaka from each other as Ibaka cocked his right fist as if to throw a punch while Barnes continued jawing with him.
