The Warriors beat the Rockets in Game 4 in part because of Dillon Brooks fouling Jimmy Butler on a 3-pointer, a call some in the national media took issue with.

SAN FRANCISCO – Facing the league’s most physical and handsy defense without his fearless co-star, the Warriors asked 37-year-old Steph Curry to put the offense on his shoulders in the third game of their playoff series with the Houston Rockets.

Buddy Hield gave the Warriors a 102-101 lead on a sidestep 3-pointer with 3:18 left in the fourth quarter, the hosts first advantage in six minutes. Butler pushed it to a three-point advantage with a tough layup over two defenders a minute later.
