Charlotte Hornets center Dwight Howard has been fined $35,000 for making an obscene gesture towards fans during the Hornets' loss against the Cleveland Cavaliers Friday night, Executive Vice President of Basketball Operations Kiki VanDeWeghe announced Saturday. Howard, who scored 20 points to go with 13 rebounds, committed the action with 4:25 remaining in the second quarter and the game tied at 46. It was captured on camera during the television broadcast and then plastered all over the internet.
