Dillon Brooks takes swipe at Draymond Green after Suns-Warriors
Dillon Brooks kept his villain role in the fallout of the Warriors’ win over the Suns. Draymond Green let the red mist descend yet again, totally unravelling during Golden State’s gritty 116-113 win over Phoenix.
In the aftermath of the Warriors' 116-113 victory over the Suns, tension escalated between Dillon Brooks and Draymond Green. Midway through the third quarter, Green found himself entangled with Suns rookie Khaman Maluach, leading to an altercation. Brooks seized the opportunity to confront Draymond, sparking a heated exchange. As the dust settled, Brooks was handed a technical foul, while Green received a double technical and was ejected from the game.
Despite clocking in with just four points, four rebounds, and two assists in 17 minutes, Brooks insisted his actions were intended to de-escalate the situation. In postgame interviews, Brooks dismissed the incident as playful, stating that he was merely trying to calm things down after Maluach's entanglement. However, Brooks couldn't resist a direct jab at Green, telling ESPN, "He was just tweaking all game."
This isn't the first time Brooks has targeted the Warriors' defensive leader; earlier this year, he labeled them as the league's two remaining villains. Their history dates back years, and Brooks appears to relish the opportunity to provoke the Golden State team every time they share the court.
