    WASHIGNTON, May 10 (Xinhua) -- The NBA fined Mavericks owner Mark Cuban 200,000 US dollars for going onto the court in Game 1 of Dallas' series against the Spurs and criticizing league officials on his blog, according to ESPN on Wednesday.

    Cuban was fined 100,000 dollars for going onto the court and another 100,000 for being critical of the league regarding the selection of playoff officials, and how to improve playoff officiating on blogmaverick.com.

    "The NBA knows all, does all, and far be it for me to question any of this," Cuban told an ESPN reporter.

    Cuban also said that he wrote the article before the playoffs and simply reposted it after Game 1.

    Dallas lost 87-85 in Game 1 on Sunday, but rebounded Tuesday night with a 113-91 victory to even the series at one game apiece. Enditem
