Dillon Brooks gives controversial answer when asked if he’s targeting Stephen Curry’s injury, Draymond Green responds

Dillon Brooks was his boisterous self when talking about the defense he played on Stephen Curry, and Draymond Green had an interesting response. The Houston Rockets won Game 5 to keep their series against the Golden State Warriors alive. It was a dominant performance from the Rockets’ side.

The Rockets kept the Warriors at bay on the defensive end, with just Stephen Curry managing to score double-digit points. Steve Kerr was furious with the way the Rockets seemingly fouled Stephen Curry. While Jimmy Butler got the best of Dillon Brooks in Game 4 , tonight, Brooks shut down both him and Curry.



Well, Brooks may have been taking some underhanded tactics to guard Stephen Curry. But he seems to have no problem taking that strategy. Dillon Brooks unfazed by Stephen Curry injury Eagle-eyed fans noticed that Stephen Curry’s thumb injury was swollen coming into the game.

Well, Dillon Brooks certainly noticed this as well. When asked whether he was targeting the injury on purpose, Dillon Brooks was unabashed in his response, saying he’ll do whatever it takes to win. “I’ve been playing the game.

If you’re going to come play the game injured...

If I had an injured ankle, I would attack that ankle every single time. So, whatever they’re saying on the broadcast, they can keep saying it.” Brooks clearly has no sympathy for Curry’s injury and will continue to target him if it gives the Rockets a competitive edge.

com/j3SwixMdDQ Draymond Green responds to Rockets targeting Stephen Curry Draymond Green was asked about Dillon Brooks’ comments after the game and the Rockets targeting Stephen Curry. Green noted that he isn’t going to complain about the situation, given his own reputation. “Yeah, I’ve noticed it.

I think it’s pretty obvious. I’m not one to cry to you about what the league should do.” “I see enough people cry about me, and I lose respect for those people when they cry about me.

So I will not allow somebody to lose respect for me over that.” Clearly, Green seems unfazed by this situation and considers it part of the game. But the Warriors have every right to be frustrated by the circumstances.
