Houston Rockets forward Dillon Brooks was fined $25,000 by the NBA Wednesday for using profane language during a post-game television interview.

The offending comments came when Brooks and sophomore guard Amen Thompson were interviewed on the court following the Rockets’ 114-112 victory over the Boston Celtics on Monday at TD Garden.

Brooks, from Mississauga, Ont., had 36 points in the game thanks to a career-high 10 three-pointers.

Thompson had 33 points and hit the game-winning shot at the buzzer.
