Houston Rockets guard Chris Paul was fined $35,000 for "aggressively confronting and recklessly making contact with a game official" Sunday, according to Kiki VanDeWeghe, Executive Vice President, Basketball Operations, but he will not be suspended. Paul received his second technical foul and an automatic ejection when he argued with an official about a non-call with 4.4 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter of the Rockets' 104-100 loss to the Golden State Warriors at Oracle Arena.

Paul's outburst came after James Harden appeared to be fouled by Draymond Green while attempting a 3-pointer. After a scramble for the ball ended up in a ruling of Warriors' possession, Paul argued and made contact with an official.
