The Houston Rockets vs. the Golden State Warriors game was surely a spectacle. With the Warriors coming into the game with a healthy lead, things looked a bit easy for them. However, the Rockets surely had other ideas. Coming in with impeccable grit and determination, Ime Udoka’s men proved their worth, tying the game 1-1.
Having won the game 109-94, the Rockets must surely be rejoicing. However, there were many things going on that caught the fans’ eyes. For example, Tari Eason was throwing a towel!
The game was a high-octane one for sure. With things getting utterly physical between the two sides, the tempers flared quite naturally. Draymond Green had one of the most dominant nights this season. However, his dominance was largely marked by his exceptional physical play. In one such incident, Green and Fred VanVleet got involved in a heated argument. And that is when Tari Eason decided to step in.

With VanVleet and Green fired up, Eason threw a towel right onto Pat Spencer’s face! Now, while such an incident shocked the audience, Eason seemed to be quite apologetic of his actions. Speaking to the reporters, Eason stated that he had his emotions get the better of him. But he also vowed to curb his instincts for the good. Meanwhile, with the tempers getting high, Rockets’ coach Ime Udoka had an interesting message.
