The play was reviewed and Brooks's foul was upgraded to a Flagrant 1, giving Curry two free throws. On Golden State's next possession, as fate would have it, Jimmy Butler sank a clutch three-pointer over Brooks to tie the game, 96-96. However, the Warriors would end up losing, 99-98.

The Warriors’ head coach, Steve Kerr, strongly disagrees with Draymond Green’s ejection and compares the incident to a previous unusual encounter between Dillon Brooks and Stephen Curry.

Trailing by 11 when Green was ejected early in the second quarter, the Warriors shook off their atrocious start, reacquainted themselves with defense in the middle quarters and then hung on for a 119-...

However, it appeared that the Warriors were fueled by Green's ejection.
