A heartbreaking game against the Chicago Bulls wasn't the only thing Kevin Martin lost on Saturday.

The NBA announced on Monday that the Minnesota Timberwolves guard has been fined $15,000 for making an obscene gesture during the Timberwolves' 106-05 loss to the Bulls.

After knocking down a big three-pointer during the back and forth fourth quarter against the Bulls, which put Minnesota up 102-100 with 1:37 remaining, Martin celebrated by performing a subtle version of Sam Cassell's famous Big Onions dance.

It wasn't subtle enough for the NBA, obviously.
