Chicago's Belinelli fined by NBA for obscene gesture

NEW YORK (AP) — Chicago Bulls guard Marco Belinelli has been fined $15,000 by the NBA for making an obscene gesture in the 99-93 victory at Brooklyn in Game 7 of their first-round playoff series.

The league announced the penalty against the Italian late Monday (Tuesday Manila time).

Belinelli made the gesture as he made his way back down the court after connecting on a 3-pointer that gave Chicago a 91-81 lead with 4:52 left in Saturday's game.
