Lost in the physicality has been the Rockets' intentional action of swiping at Curry's injured thumb, looking to lean into his weakness and hinder his play. While many have come after Houston for their style of play and intentions, Dillon Brooks defended the team's actions, as he's been the primary culprit.

With a chance to end the series and advance to the second round, the Golden State Warriors were pummeled by the Rockets 131-116 on Wednesday. Golden State will now have to face Houston in a Game 6 rather than getting the additional rest it would have received with a win.

The Golden State Warriors' lead broadcaster has had it with Dillon Brooks trying to injure Warriors star Steph Curry throughout Wednesday's Game 5 matchup against the Rockets. NBC Sports Bay Area play-by-play announcer Bob Fitzgerald and color commentator Kelenna Azibuike accused the Houston player of intentionally targeting Curry's injured thumb on his right hand.
