The rivalry between Draymond Green and Dillon Brooks threatened to turn physical as the duo clashed during the anticipated battle between the Memphis Grizzlies and Golden State Warriors on Thursday.
Brooks ultimately got the last laugh, as his Grizzlies secured a memorable 131-110 win in the feisty encounter with the 27-year-old guard scoring 14 points along with six assists and four rebounds. Green ended up with 16 points, seven assists and five rebounds in the road defeat.
The match was played just one day after Green labelled Brooks a ‘clown’ on his podcast - and with just over a minute remaining in the first half, the pair came face-to-face to the pleasure of the raucous sold-out crowd at FedEx Forum. Brooks stole a Warriors inbound pass and converted a contested layup on his rival to make the score 74-57 in favour of the Grizzlies.
