Right before halftime of the Houston Rockets' 106-96 win over the Golden State Warriors on Sunday night, cameras caught Rockets coach Ime Udoka exchanging words with Warriors superstar Stephen Curry. After the game, both Curry and Udoka were asked about the back-and-forth. Udoka dismissed the exchange as "friendly banter."
"I was talking to my team about the physicality," Udoka said. "This is the type of game we like. This is who we are. He said something. I said something. A little friendly banter."
