Denver Nuggets big man DeMarcus Cousins had another one of his infamous temper tantrums in Game 4 against Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors and it has now been announced that it's going to cost him big time.
Cousins kicked some towels in the direction of the fans as he was making his way to the bench in the second quarter of Sunday's game. The NBA has now announced that the Nuggets veteran has been slapped with a hefty $15,000 for his actions (h/t NBA Communications on Twitter):

Cousins was frustrated for being called for a foul on Warriors swingman Andrew Wiggins. He let his anger out on a handful of innocent towels that were just sitting there doing their job. This is far from the first time Cousins has been fined by the league for his untoward actions, but this one is probably going to sting more considering how he's no longer earning in the millions of dollars.
The Nuggets won game 4, 126-121, as they staved off elimination in the first round. The series is now at 3-1 in favor of the Warriors with Game 5 scheduled for Thursday.
