NEW YORK — Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry has been fined $5,000 by the NBA for violating the league’s anti-flopping rules during Game 1 of the Western Conference finals.

The NBA made the announcement Wednesday. The league said the flop occurred after Curry’s 3-pointer with 3:07 remaining in the fourth quarter of the Warriors’ 110-106 victory over the Houston Rockets on Tuesday.

Curry made the shot and fell to the court after getting bumped by defender Terrence Jones. The 3-pointer gave the Warriors a 106-97 lead.
