The league said in a statement that the player had been fined for his behavior after the 109-104 defeat by the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday.

Garnett, who helped the Celtics to their 17th NBA title in 2008, used an expletive as he expressed concern at the number of free throws awarded to Oklahoma's Kevin Durant.

I love the Celtics, and I can't believe Kevin did that
But I don't see why they would fine him that amount, because that's like a dollar bill to Kevin, Lol.
