After Curry’s jump shots, Rockets defenders made an effort to swipe at his compromised digit while he snapped his wrist. The Warriors’ television broadcast picked up the trend during Game 5, which led to accusations that the Rockets were attempting to injure Curry.

Steph Curry is averaging 28.5 points (54.5%) in Golden State’s three wins over the Rockets, while he’s scoring 16.5 points (37.0%) in the two losses.

Dillon Brooks has tried to push the dirty player narrative onto the Warriors all through this playoff series. But after winning Game 5 to force the series to go back to San Francisco, the Rockets enforcer tacitly admitted to intentionally targeting Steph Curry's injured thumb.
