Chalmers fined for flopping

Mario Chalmers’ travails with the NBA’s league office continue.

Already on notice that his next flagrant foul will result in a suspension, the Miami Heat point guard on Thursday was cited for his second flopping violation of the season, which resulted in a $5,000 fine. Chalmers’ theatrics came with 5:54 remaining in the third quarter of the Heat’s 116-112 victory Wednesday night over the Los Angeles Clippers at Staples Center.
