NEW YORK (AP) Memphis guard Bonzi Wells and New Orleans center Jamaal Magloire were fined $5,000 a piece by the NBA on Thursday for throwing a basketball into the stands.

The fines were announced by Stu Jackson, the league's senior vice president of basketball operations.

Wells tossed the ball into the stands during the third quarter of the Grizzlies' 82-79 win over Philadelphia in Memphis on Tuesday. That night, Magloire did the same thing in the third period of Miami's 96-83 home win over the Hornets.
