Rockets, Warriors get into shoving altercation in 2nd quarter of heated Game 4

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Players on the Golden State Warriors and Houston Rockets got into a shoving altercation midway through the second quarter in Monday night’s Game 4 of their first-round playoff series, leading to three technical fouls before tempers flared again shortly before halftime.

With the game tied at 36, Golden State star Stephen Curry dribbled down the sideline when teammate Draymond Green put a hard screen on Houston’s Amen Thompson. Dillon Brooks appeared to become angry about the push and went at Curry and Green.
