— -- HOUSTON -- Jason Kidd said he was just "trying to win" when he intentionally spilled a drink on the court, a stunt that cost him $50,000.
The Brooklyn Nets coach was fined Thursday, with the NBA saying he intentionally spilled his drink as a stall tactic.
He tried to avoid talking about it Friday, but when pressed, he relented.
Kidd, who is in his first year as a coach, was suspended for the first two games of the season after pleading guilty in a drunken driving case. The Nets are off to a 4-11 start entering Friday's game. ESPNLosAngeles.com's Dave McMenamin and The Associated Press contributed to this report.
