Early in the fourth quarter when the Warriors were down 77-74, Curry crossed up Brooks and launched a three-pointer. After Curry released the shot, Brooks, who was right up in Curry's grill, seemed to swipe at his bandaged right hand (Curry has been dealing with thumb injury since January).

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

While plenty of decisions from the officials in Game 3 ended up subject to debate, the discourse began immediately in the first quarter due to a no-call for Rockets guard Dillon Brooks after his run-in with Warriors star Stephen Curry on a three-point attempt.
