Jackson left the court in a contentious, roundabout manner after getting his
second technical foul. Warriors star Baron Davis also was ejected from the game,
apparently for sarcastically applauding the officials late in the third quarter.
On Thursday, Golden State coach Don Nelson said he'll fine both players.
Nelson didn't announce the amount of his fines, saying only, "It will be
substantial."
Game 3 of the first-round series was Friday night.
