NEW YORK (AP) — The NBA has fined Oklahoma City star Kevin Durant for making a “menacing gesture,” when he pretended to slice his throat after throwing down a big dunk during the Thunder’s victory against the Golden State Warriors.
The play that led to Durant’s costly celebration occurred with about 1:45 left in the second quarter of Oklahoma City‘s 116-97 win at Golden State.
Thunder guard Russell Westbrook blocked Stephen Curry‘s layup, and Durant corralled the ball and went in for a soaring dunk at the other end of the court. He then made throat-slashing gesture and crossed his hands in prayer.

THE FACTS: That Indiana won its fifth consecutive game, all by double figures, was almost lost in the aftermath of a fourth-quarter shoving match that spilled into the front row of spectators at Bankers Life Fieldhouse, resulting in six technical fouls, the ejection of Pacers center Roy Hibbert and possible suspensions coming from the league. With David West scoring 28, George Hill 23 and Paul George 21, the Pacers weathered a 38-point storm from Stephen Curry and wore down the visiting Golden State Warriors 108-97 Tuesday. Indiana led 95-85 with 6:10 remaining when Hibbert responded to a hard push from Lee with a two-handed shove, sparking a scrum that started under the basket and migrated to the edge of the court before officials and cooler heads prevailed. In addition to Hibbert’s ejection, Lee, West, Curry and Klay Thompson picked up technical fouls. There appeared to be no punches thrown but several players, including Curry, were knocked to the floor. West scored six in a row as the Pacers pushed the lead to 104-87 to put the game away. …read more
