Speaking to three reporters at the team hotel in Dallas on Sunday night, Van Gundy said a referee not working the playoffs called him and warned that officials "were looking at Yao harder because of Mark's complaints" to the league office. He said that Cuban "has been hard on them," and "he's gotten the benefit."
"I didn't think that really worked in the NBA, but in this case it has," Van Gundy said, declining to identify the official he spoke to.
At a shootaround Monday before Game 5 of the series, Van Gundy said: "I stand by what I said. I believe it. I know what was told to me, and I've seen how it played out."
That was hours before the fine was announced. At the time, Van Gundy said he'd only been told not to say anything more about it.
