Nets’ GM suspended for entering referee locker room after Game 4

Game 4 of the Eastern Conference quarterfinal between the Brooklyn Nets and Philadelphia 76ers was heated on the court, and it seems that spilled over after the game in a certain way.

The NBA announced Sunday that Nets general manager Sean Marks had been fined and suspended for a game for entering the referee locker room after his team’s 112-108 loss in Game 4.

It’s not clear what, specifically, had Marks angry enough to try to access the referee locker room. His team saw a lead slip away late as they fell behind 3-1 in the series, and that came after things got heated between the two teams on the floor. The stage is set for a very intense Game 5 as the Nets try to fend off elimination.
