Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert was fined $100,000 by the NBA Sunday for "directing an inappropriate and unprofessional gesture" toward a game official during the team's 113-104 loss at Cleveland on Friday, and for criticizing the officiating after the game.
The Wolves led 97-96 and had the ball when Gobert was called for his sixth foul, fouling him out of the game. Gobert then received a technical for making a gesture to official Scott Foster — Gobert rubbed his fingers together, making a money sign as if implying Foster was being bribed.
The technical resulted in a free throw that Darius Garland hit to tie the score.
