The NBA Playoffs are heating up, and the rivalry between Steph Curry and Dillon Brooks took center stage in Game 4 of the Warriors vs Rockets series. The intense moment came midway through the second quarter at Chase Center, setting off a dramatic NBA Playoffs altercation that captured headlines.

After drawing a second personal foul on Houston Rockets forward Dillon Brooks, Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry — known as the league’s self-proclaimed “Petty King” — made a not-so-subtle gesture from the hardwood, flashing two fingers to signify Brooks’ foul count.

Brooks didn’t take kindly to the move and aggressively attempted to snatch the ball from Curry. That sparked an on-court confrontation, prompting Warriors veteran Draymond Green and Rockets player Quinten Post to intervene.

As the situation escalated, Curry and Brooks came face-to-face, exchanging words as tensions boiled. Referees stepped in, reviewed the incident, and handed out technical fouls to Steph Curry, Dillon Brooks, and Draymond Green.

While the scuffle didn’t turn into a full-on brawl, it was a clear sign of the growing animosity in the Warriors vs Rockets playoff clash. With each game becoming more physical, fans can expect more fireworks as this NBA rivalry continues.
