NBA: Houston Rockets' James Harden fined for flopping

Washington, Nov 12 All-Star guard James Harden from the Houston Rockets received a $5000 fine from the NBA for flopping, becoming the first NBA player to be fined for flopping in 2013-2014 season.

Harden flopped – acting as if he was fouled – in the fourth quarter of the Rockets’ 94-107 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers on Saturday, reports Xinhua.

It is the second time that Harden has been pulled up for flopping. He was warned by the league for flopping in the Rockets’ victory over the Portland Trail Blazers, which took place four days before the game against the Clippers.
