Warriors Mock Brooks After Game 7 Win

After the Golden State Warriors eliminated the Houston Rockets in a seven-game series, tensions arose over Dillon Brooks' postgame behavior. Draymond Green publicly criticized Brooks for leaving the court without taking part in post-series handshakes, calling him a 'sucker' and emphasizing the disrespect shown. Buddy Hield, who scored a playoff career-high 33 points and tied an NBA record with nine three-pointers in Game 7, taunted Brooks both during and after the game, referencing their college rivalry. Stephen Curry also joined the mockery by wearing sunglasses at the press conference, echoing Brooks’ prior fashion and his admission to targeting Curry’s injured thumb. The Warriors’ celebrations and targeted jabs underscored how Brooks’ antagonism ultimately motivated Golden State. The Warriors now advance to face the Minnesota Timberwolves in the next round.
