Houston Rockets forward Dillon Brooks has to put $25,000 in the NBA's swear jar. The league fined Brooks on Wednesday for using profane language during a live television interview. His remarks came during an on-court interview at the conclusion of the Rockets' 114-112 victory over the host Boston Celtics on Monday night at TD Garden.

Brooks and Trae Young stood face-to-face jawing during the Rockets’ win in Atlanta, then Brooks grabbed the back of Young’s neck and pushed him forward. Each received a technical foul for the incident — but did Brooks deserve more?
