Pierce fined

Brooklyn Nets forward Paul Pierce has been fined US$15,000 for his flagrant foul on George Hill of the Pacers. Pierce was ejected in the third quarter of Indiana’s 103-86 win on Monday. Hill stole a bad pass and was going in for a layup, and Pierce hustled back and appeared to be trying to wrap him up. But his arm ended up going around Hill’s neck for a clothesline tackle. Referees ruled it a flagrant 2 after review, an automatic ejection. The National Basketball Association said on Tuesday that Pierce made “excessive and unnecessary contact.”
