NBA: Spurs' Splitter draws flopping fine

San Antonio Spurs center Tiago Splitter was fined $5,000 by the NBA on Wednesday for violating anti-flopping rules during game four of the Western Conference Finals in Oklahoma City.

The play took place with 7:30 left in the second quarter on Tuesday night (Wednesday, PHL time) when Oklahoma City's Serge Ibaka pushed Splitter lightly in the chest area and he fell backward during the Thunder's 105-92 win in Chesapeake Energy Arena.

The best-of-seven series returns to San Antonio for game five on Thursday night (Friday, PHL time) tied at two wins each. - Reuters
