Denver Nuggets star Nikola Jokić and Minnesota Timberwolves star Julius Randle have picked up fines after an altercation at the end of Game 4 of the first-round series.

NEW YORK (AP) — Denver’s Nikola Jokić was fined $50,000 and Minnesota’s Julius Randle was fined $35,000 for their roles in an altercation near the end of Game 4 of the teams’ first-round playoff series, the NBA announced Sunday.

At the end of an emotional game in which the Minnesota Timberwolves lost two players to injury, tempers flared and a pair of stars were ejected.

Things aren't going well at all for Jokić and his Denver teammates, who have had a lot stolen from them in this first-round series.

A physical altercation involving multiple players broke out near the end of the Minnesota Timberwolves' 112-96 win over the Denver Nuggets in Game 4 of their first-round playoff series on Saturday night.

The heat in Target Center had just begun to fade away. Nikola Jokic’s Denver Nuggets faced the most gruesome 112-96 loss on Saturday.

Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert has led the charge in limiting Nuggets star Nikola Jokić to just 15-of-46 shooting over the last two games.
