I think the dirty player is Draymond, giving a little push,” Rockets veteran Dillon Brooks said when asked about Amen Thompson’s role in the play.

Jimmy Butler, the Warriors' second-best player, went down with an injury in the first quarter of Game 2 of this series. He was undercut by Rockets' Amen Thompson after the young player went for a rebound off his own shot. Butler had the same idea, but Thompson bumped into him, taking the former Miami Heat star to the ground.
