Dillon Brooks defended Amen Thompson, saying his Rockets teammate is not a dirty player, but that Golden State's Draymond Green is.

There were three technical fouls given to each team, plus one flagrant foul on Jalen Green when he struck Draymond Green in the face, during Game 2. There was also a scuffle at midcourt during the fourth quarter, which saw Rockets forward Tari Eason throw a towel at Warriors reserve Pat Spencer.

It didn't take long for the Houston Rockets and Golden State Warriors to get into it in Game 4 of a series that has been full of physical altercations. Three technical fouls - two on the Warriors and one on the Rockets were called - midway through the second quarter when the game was tied.
