After the Houston Rockets’ shocking Game 5 victory, the spotlight shifted to Stephen Curry and his thumb injury

Coming into the Houston Rockets' first-round series with the Golden State Warriors, one of the biggest talking points was Amen Thompson and whether he was actually some kind of Steph Curry stopper. He's not.

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.
