Golden State Warriors power forward Marreese Speights received a warning for violating the NBA's anti-flopping rule in Saturday's win over the Chicago Bulls

The warning was definitely just, as Speights embellished the contact he made with Bulls power forward Pau Gasol during the fourth quarter. There's no way that little bump should have sent the 6-foot-10, 255-pounder to the ground. He'll be fined if he's found to violate the flopping rule again. 

Speights has been a nice bench piece for the NBA-best Warriors this season. He's averaging 12.3 points on 53.8 percent shooting from the field and 5.0 in just 16.1 minutes per game. Speights also has a career-high 25.3 PER.
