Andre Iguodala will continue the Warriors' road trip with lighter pockets.

The guard accrued a $25,000 fine from the NBA after "recklessly throwing the game ball into the spectator stands," the league announced Monday morning.

Iguodala had his own response. In an Instagram video, Iguodala shared a scene from "He Got Game," a Spike Lee film featuring actor Denzel Washington and 10-time NBA All-Star Ray Allen. 

The scene depicts the incident that happened at Moda Center, which ultimately got Iguodala ejected from the game.

The incident occured in Golden State's 115-105 win in Portland on Saturday. Just before halftime, Iguodala picked up the ball near halfcourt and sent it sailing over the basket.

After the contest, Iguodala said he found out about the ejection from coach Steve Kerr and in his defense he was just trying to shoot.

The Warriors will continue its stint away with a game in Phoenix on Monday. Golden State Warriors  enters the matchup with a 24-13 record.
