Paul Pierce fined for menacing gesture

Paul Pierce is $25,000 lighter in his wallet tonight. The NBA just fined Pierce 25K for ``making a menacing gesture'' during the fourth quarter of Saturday night's Game 3 loss in Atlanta. The gesture, known as `The B' and a common sign in the gang culture, came in the final minute when the Hawks' Al Horford walked by Pierce, who was sprawled on the floor, and woofed at the Celtics' captain. Pierce stared down Horford, flashed the non-descript sign and was then pulled away by Brian Scalabrine. The scene is now being shown on YouTube.
We'll see if Pierce elaborates on the gesture before tonight's Game 4.
