Marcus Smart will be taking a hit to his wallet in the wake of his altercation with J.R. Smith on Saturday night in Cleveland but the point guard won't be losing a full game check. The NBA announced that Smart will be fined $25,000 for his role in the exchange, while Smith was fined $15,000. Smart was not suspended after getting ejected during the 113-102 defeat.
