Washington, June 10 (IANS): Miami Heat guard Dwyane Wade was fined $5,000 by the NBA for violating the league's anti-flopping rules during the Game 2 of the NBA finals.

The incident occured with four minutes nine seconds remaining in the second quarter of Miami's 98-96 win over the San Antonio Spurs Monday. Wade over-exaggerated the foul against Manu Ginobili, reports Xinhua.
