After the Houston Rockets’ shocking Game 5 victory, the spotlight shifted to Stephen Curry and his thumb injury

Coming into the Houston Rockets' first-round series with the Golden State Warriors, one of the biggest talking points was Amen Thompson and whether he was actually some kind of Steph Curry stopper. He's not.

After Curry’s jump shots, Rockets defenders made an effort to swipe at his compromised digit while he snapped his wrist. The Warriors’ television broadcast picked up the trend during Game 5, which led to accusations that the Rockets were attempting to injure Curry.
