Mark Cuban fined $10,000

After the Spurs earned a 113-100 win over Dallas at the SBC Center, Cuban said in a published report that he asked one his players to slap the ball into Spurs forward Bruce Bowen’s face and he would pay the fine.

During the game, Mavericks forward Michael Finley was ejected for elbowing Bowen. However, replays showed both players exchanging elbows. Bowen then said after the game the two just bumped each other.
