Share

Alex Len and CJ McCollum got into a minor tussle Saturday night in Portland, and their wallets are lighter for it.

The NBA announced Sunday that both Len and McCollum were fined for their altercation. The Trail Blazers guard was fined $20,000 for shoving the Kings center and trying to escalate the situation. Len was docked $15,000 for shoving.

Was it worth it? Not really. 

The Kings left Portland with a 121-111 win, their first victory in the Rose City since Dec. 12, 2012.

The win moved the Kings closer to the eighth and final playoff spot in the Western Conference. Luke Walton's club now sits just 3 1/2 games back of the Memphis Grizzlies for the No. 8 seed. 

The Kings are back in action Sunday night when they host the Toronto Raptors at Golden 1 Center.
