The NBA is getting fed up with some of the most obvious tanking in recent memory.

The league announced Thursday it has fined the Utah Jazz $500,000 and the Indiana Pacers $100,000 for their roster management in recent games. NBA commissioner Adam Silver described the team's conduct as "overt behavior" that "prioritizes draft position over winning."
