Jimmy Butler and the Miami Heat have each been fined $15,000 for what the NBA deemed as "an obscene gesture" made by Butler in the Heat's 97-94 Game 5 first-round closeout win over the Atlanta Hawks, the league announced Thursday.
The NBA also fined Heat forward Markieff Morris $25,000 on Thursday for interfering with live game play while on the bench, which also occurred during Game 5.
Butler's rules infraction occurred late in the second quarter. Amid a personal 10-0 run by Heat guard Max Strus, Butler stood on the sideline and made a thrusting motion with his hips to celebrate his teammate's success.
