Houston Rockets guard Amen Thompson faced scrutiny following an incident during Game 2 where Jimmy Butler of the Warriors suffered an injury. Teammate Dillon Brooks defended Thompson, asserting that the incident was not indicative of Thompson's character as a player, instead suggesting that it was an unfortunate basketball play. Coaches from both teams, Steve Kerr and Ime Udoka, also expressed that they do not believe Thompson acted with ill intent. The Rockets aim to maintain their focus on the upcoming Game 3 despite the controversy surrounding the incident.
