Boston Celtics forward Grant Williams has been fined $20,000 for punching a basketball into the stands during the team's loss to the Golden State Warriors on Dec. 10, the league announced on Monday.  With 1:52 remaining in the fourth quarter, and the Celtics trailing by 17 points, the Warriors called a timeout to get their starters out of the Game .
