The NBA announced on Sunday that Minnesota Timberwolves forward Taurean Prince has been fined $15,000 for making an obscene gesture during the team’s win over the Dallas Mavericks earlier this week.

The incident occurred at the end of the third quarter, with the clock winding down. Prince was matched up with Luka Doncic, and eventually forced Doncic to launch a step-back 3-pointer from the corner. Tempers flared as the two players walked back to their benches, where they exchanged words in passing, which caused Prince to turn back and point at Doncic. Both players were assessed technical fouls during the game.

Doncic finished with 24 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists in the game, but the Timberwolves went on to a 116-95 victory. The Wolves have now won 11 of their last 14 games and are just one game behind the Denver Nuggets for sixth place in the Western Conference. The Mavericks are currently locked in a dead heat with the Utah Jazz for fourth place in the West.
