News from May 2.

The NBA fined GS coach Mark Jackson $25,000 for his comments following
Tuesday's GS-Den game complaining about how physical Denver was playing
with the league saying the comments were "an attempt to influence the
officiating."

Minnesota fired David Kahn as president of basketball operations.

Golden State activated David Lee and placed Dwayne Jones on IL. Lee
actually played 1:30 during Friday's game, despite having a torn right hip
flexor (which was expected to keep him out of the rest of the playoffs
after suffering the injury in Game 1).

Chicago placed Malcolm Thomas on IL.
