Hibbert fined despite apology

Indiana Pacers center Roy Hibbert was fined $75,000 by the NBA on Sunday after a post-game news conference outburst that included an anti-gay slur.

Hibbert scored 24 points as the Pacers beat the Miami Heat 91-77 on Saturday to force a deciding Game 7 in South Florida on Monday, but the 26-year-old responded with a rant in the televised press conference.

Hibbert used the phrase "no homo" to describe his play and also attacked the media, using foul language when asked to discuss his low place in voting for the Defensive Player of the Year.
