"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Kevin Durant has been fined $25,000 by the NBA for \"making a menacing gesture\" during Thursday's 116-97 victory over the Golden State Warriors.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;After Russell Westbrook blocked a Stephen Curry layup, Durant grabbed the ball and scored with a big dunk. Although great play, it's not enough to reach Dunk of the Year caliber, and it didn't merit the throat-slashing move that followed.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The throat-slash was followed by Durant pretending to pray. From the Washington Post's report on Durant's fine:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u201CKill \u2018em and pray for \u2018em after the game,\u201D Durant, who finished with 31 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists, explained later (via the Associated Press)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The win over Golden State was a big one for the Thunder, putting the team up half a game over the Spurs for the top seed in the Western Conference.\n&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
