NBA commissioner Adam Silver sends message to tanking teams

INGLEWOOD, Calif. -- Nothing is worse than a sore loser, except maybe an intentional one.

NBA commissioner Adam Silver addressed a number of topics facing the league at his annual All-Star Weekend press conference on Saturday and the biggest of them at the present time surrounds teams tanking for better draft picks.

The Utah Jazz were just fined $500,000 for limiting the court time of two of its best players, while the Indiana Pacers were docked $100,000 for roster manipulation that kept three starters from a recent game.
