Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart was fined $35,000 on Thursday for inappropriate language toward a game official earlier this week.

Already carrying one technical, Smart had words for official Lauren Holtkamp in the third period of Boston’s blowout loss to Oklahoma City on Tuesday. Holtkamp issued another technical, resulting in the automatic ejection with 2:46 remaining in the third quarter.
