Vikings' Asher Allen retires at age 24
NEW YORK, May 24 (UPI) -- Los Angeles Lakers power forward Karl Malone was fined $7,500 by the NBA Monday for a flagrant foul he committed Sunday in Game Two of the Western finals.
Malone ran through Minnesota guard Darrick Martin, who was trying to set a pick, with 2:31 remaining in Los Angeles' 89-71 loss. He immediately was ejected for a flagrant-2 foul.
"I ran through the pick," Malone said Sunday. "I didn't try to go around it. I tried to run through the pick."
"They were setting back picks all night for (Kevin) Garnett, and I guess Karl just got tired of that and Karl just got mad," Lakers Coach Phil Jackson said Sunday. "It wasn't malicious, but Karl did it and now he has to suffer the consequences."
Sunday's game featured eight technical fouls, including five by Los Angeles.
