Shanxi fined 60,000 yuan for crowd trouble

CBA decides to move the decisive Game 5 in Beijing back to Sunday

The Chinese Basketball Association (CBA) fined the Shanxi Brave Dragons and the local organizing committee 60,000 yuan ($9,478) on Tuesday after reckless fan behavior during the semifinal game against the Beijing Ducks on Sunday.

To show its displeasure at some controversial refereeing calls during the fourth quarter of Game 4 in Taiyuan, Shanxi province, the home crowd started to throw debris onto the court and forced officials to halt play with 52 seconds left and Shanxi leading 102-100.
