(Sports Network) - The National Basketball Association handed out $25,000 fines Monday to Boston Celtics forward Paul Pierce and Washington Wizards (web|news) guard DeShawn Stevenson for making "menacing gestures" during their respective playoff games this weekend. Pierce was fined for flashing a hand gesture to Atlanta's Al Horford on Saturday. Horford drew the ire of Pierce after hitting a jumper and taunting the Celtics forward late in the Hawks' 102-93 victory. Pierce stared down his opponent and had to be restrained by his teammates.

Stevenson was fined for swiping Cleveland's LeBron James' headband late in the first half of Washington's 100-97 loss on Sunday. He was called for a flagrant foul on the play.
