Los Angeles Lakers forward Julius Randle has been fined $15,000 for making an obscene gesture after hitting the game-winning shot against the Miami Heat, the NBA announced Friday.

Randle's actions occurred with 1.9 seconds remaining in overtime of the Lakers' 102-100 victory over the Heat at Staples Center on Wednesday night.

After making the shot, Randle mimicked a gesture made popular by Sam Cassell during his playing days and from the character Pedro Cerrano in "Major League II."

Randle finished the game with 13 points and 14 rebounds.
