Jazz's Hood fined $35K for slapping phone out of fan's hand

Rodney Hood let his emotions get the better of him Wednesday, and he's now paying the price for it.

The Utah Jazz guard has been fined $35,000 by the NBA for slapping a cell phone out of a fan's hand following his ejection against the Washington Wizards on Wednesday.

After complaining to official Tony Brothers and not letting up late in the third quarter, Hood was given the heave-ho and sent to the locker room, but not before smacking a phone out of a nearby fan's grip who was seemingly attempting to take a photo of him.

The Jazz went on to defeat the Wizards by three points, despite Hood's ejection.
