DEERFIELD, Ill. (AP) — The NBA has fined
Chicago Bulls forward Taj Gibson $25,000 for an outburst at a referee in
Game 2 of the Eastern Conference semifinals at Miami.
The league announced the fine Friday.

The Heat were well on their way to a
115-78 victory when Gibson went off at an official early in the fourth
quarter. With 10:13 remaining, he did not leave the court in a timely
fashion after he and teammate Joakim Noah were ejected by referee Scott
Foster. Gibson continued to shout at Foster.
The Bulls were called for six technical fouls
during that game and Miami three. The game was the most lopsided
postseason win for Miami and the biggest playoff loss for Chicago.
The series is 1-1 heading into Game 3 on Friday night.
