NEW YORK -- Golden State's
Jason Richardson was fined $35,000 by the NBA on Thursday for improper interaction with a fan during a playoff game in Dallas.
Richardson had a heated verbal exchange with the fan after missing a shot and falling out of bounds with 21.9 seconds left in the Warriors' 118-112 loss in Game 5 of the first-round series. The fan reportedly filed a complaint with NBA security.
Dallas' victory gave the Mavericks a 3-2 series lead, with Game 6 set for Thursday night in Oakland, Calif.
