Clippers guard Patrick Beverley has been fined $25,000 by the NBA for throwing a basketball into the stands at the end of a 112-102 victory over the Lakers on Tuesday night at Staples Center. Beverley brought the ball up court in the final seconds and stopped along the right sideline as he waited for time to expire. As the buzzer sounded, he flung the ball high into the air with his left hand before he pivoted left and headed to the team’s bench. Beverley was ejected from a game and later fined $25,000 last season after he forcefully tossed a bounce pass toward a Mavericks fan sitting courtside in Dallas.
