Miami Heat guard Dwyane Wade was fined $5,000 for violating the anti-flopping rules during Game 2 of the NBA Finals, the league announced Monday.

The incident occurred with 4:09 remaining in the second quarter of Miami’s 98-96 win over the San Antonio Spurs on Sunday night at AT&T Center.

The league found Wade over-exaggerated a foul charged to San Antonio guard Manu Ginobili, who was whistled for the foul and appeared to take a swipe at the ball as Wade controlled it.
