The Golden State Warriors entered Wednesday’s Game 5 against the Houston Rockets at Toyota Center with a 3-1 series advantage. Hoping to wrap up the game without returning home for a potential Game 6, they face the challenging job of finishing off the Rockets away from their own arena.

Adding to their challenges, the Warriors’ top two performers are battling injuries. Steph Curry has been managing a right thumb issue, and Jimmy Butler is suiting up despite a severe deep gluteal bruise, which coach Steve Kerr mentioned would typically sideline him for several weeks during the regular season. through Anthony Slater from The Athletic ).

Up against well-known irritant Dillon Brooks, the Warriors are looking to eliminate the one-time All-Defensive forward for the second time in four years. Facing Brooks in the 2022 Western Conference Semifinals when he was with the Memphis Grizzlies, Golden State won that round, which was filled with a lot of controversy.

Brooks hurt Warriors player Gary Payton II during that series, and he is now facing accusations of deliberately going for Curry's injured right thumb.

"Apparently, the Rockets seem focused on going after Steph's thumb initially," as stated by NBCS Warriors on X.

Finishing up with a Curry three-point shot, Brooks appeared to brush against him with his right hand, drawing notice from commentator Bob Fitzgerald.

"He mentioned this occurred during Game 4 several occasions,” he stated. “They are focusing on Curry’s thumb. That hit on his right hand took place multiple times. They are aware he has an injury there.”

Following Brooks' injury to Payton in 2022, Kerr famously stated that he "violated the unwritten rules" that NBA players adhere to. Fast-forward three playoff seasons, and the ex-Grizzlies forward now finds himself accused of unsportsmanlike conduct once again.
