Los Angeles Lakers forward Julius Randle was excited after nailing the game-winning shot to beat the Miami Heat on Wednesday. A little too excited for the NBA.
The league announced Friday it fined Randle $15,000 for an "obscene gesture."

Randle's jumper with 1.9 seconds remaining lifted the Lakers to a 102-100 overtime win against the Heat. He then mimicked the celebration dance of former NBA guard Sam Cassell, which was derived from the "marbles" celebration made famous in the 1994 movie "Major League II" by characters Taka Tanaka and Pedro Cerrano.

Randle's game-winner helped snap the Lakers' four-game losing streak. He finished the night with 13 points and 14 rebounds for his 33rd double-double in what has been a difficult season for the Lakers, on and off the court.
