The NBA fined Marcus Smart $5,000 for flopping in Game 2 of the best-of-seven series between the Boston Celtics and the Toronto Raptors. His side went up 2-0 in the Eastern Conference semifinals Tuesday.
With 2:46 remaining in the third quarter of Game 2, Smart collided with Pascal Siakam and fell down. The initial call was a foul on Siakam but a Raptors challenge resulted in a foul on Smart.
The Oklahoma State alum prompted himself to the wrong end of the previous flopping fine in the playoffs as well. He was last penalized in the 2016 postseason.
This was also his second fine in the Orlando bubble following the $15,000 fine for criticizing officials after the Celtics first seeding game.
