MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WMC) - Memphis Grizzlies guard Scotty Pippen Jr. was fined $35,000 by the NBA following an on-court altercation against the Miami Heat on Saturday.
Heat forward Myron Gardner was also fined the same amount.
The incident happened with less than two minutes left in the game when Gardner hit Pippen from behind, knocking him to the ground.
Here's what went down:
-Scotty Pippen Jr. and Myron Gardner fight for a rebound, SPJ tosses Gardner (physical but fine)
-SPJ hits a 3, Gardner delivers a cheap shot to the back well after the shot is away
-Pippen wants all the smoke down (rightfully so)

Pippen responded by shoving Gardner at the other end of the court, with a scuffle that spilled into the stands.
Both players were issued technical fouls and ejected from the game, but will not face suspensions.
