The Houston Rockets lived to fight another day on Wednesday, defeating the Golden State Warriors, 131-116, in Game 5 to stave off elimination. The series now moves to the Bay Area with the Dubs up 3-2, so the young Rockets have a long way to go.
In the meantime, Dillon Brooks has yet again found himself in the midst of some controversy. During Game 4, fans felt there was a sequence where Brooks was clearly trying to hit Steph Curry's injured thumb while contesting a shot in the loss. In Game 5, the Warriors' broadcast took it a step further and said the Rockets are intentionally targeting Curry's thumb.
