Randle got it off his chest but he didn’t get off without a fine.

Randle was fined $15,000 by the NBA for “directing inappropriate language toward a game official and public criticism of the officiating, league disciplinarian Kiki VanDeWeghe announced Tuesday.

In a profane tirade, Randle ripped the officiating for a loose-ball foul call against him in the final seconds of their 101-100 overtime loss to Philadelphia on Sunday night.

It was his second refereeing incident in a week after trying to go after referee Scott Foster after the final buzzer.

Randle may have gotten off lightly considering Paul George was fined $35,000 last week for his referee criticism.

The two-minute NBA report confirmed official Leon Wood made the correct call in assessing the foul against Randle, who pushed off against Tobias Harris, allowing Nerlens Noel to grab the rebound.

After the Tuesday morning shootaround, Randle was asked about the league saying it was the correct call.

“I’m just going to say no comment, man,’’ Randle said. “There’s no point in really getting into that game and what was going on. I’m just going to say no comment.’’
