Warriors irked as Rockets target Curry’s injured thumb

Golden State players and staff quietly express frustration over repeated contact on Curry’s shooting hand by Houston defenders

Following Houston’s blowout win in Game 5, the Warriors are unhappy with how often Stephen Curry’s injured right thumb has been hit — especially after shot releases.

Coach Steve Kerr slammed the rule: “It’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard.” He called for changes next season and warned of future injuries if nothing is done.

Dillon Brooks responded bluntly: “If it were an ankle, I’d go after that. It’s just part of the game.” Expect fireworks in Game 6.
