Cavaliers Have Standing $100 Fine for Biting on DeMar DeRozan Pump Fake

DeMar DeRozan has one of the NBA's best pump fakes. The Cleveland Cavaliers did everything they could to not bite on it in Tuesday night's 113-112 Game 1 win—and for good reason.

ESPN's Brian Windhorst reported the Cavs have instituted a $100 fine for every time a player bites on a DeRozan pump fake during their second-round series.

"I'm not trying to give up that money," Tristan Thompson said. "I just had a kid, so I'm just trying to save up for their college tuition."

Fines like this are not uncommon and continue a trend for the Cavs.
