Stu Jackson, executive vice president of league operations, Ainge fined for "a distraction and unauthorized conduct detrimental to the game."
Boston won 104-86 to even the Eastern Conference semifinal at 1-1.
Ainge said Wednesday that he regretted his behavior, which he described as "unprofessional."
