Boston Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla has received his punishment for his outburst during his team's 117-108 loss against the Chicago Bulls on Thursday.

He was fined $35,000 by the league for what it called "aggressively pursuing and directing inappropriate language toward a game official." The news prompted a reaction from fans on social media with one fan jokingly claiming he knew what Mazzulla said to the official.

"All he said was happy holidays he told me," a fan tweeted.
